That's wierd. I put the VIN in for the "free" Carfax and it came back with correct vehicle info, 0 records. It didn't come back with invalid VIN however. Maybe Carfax is just saying that it has no records, i.e. the vehicle was never registered or the odometer reading never submitted to any government agency. OASIS would be better to have build info, warranty work, etc.

if the car is not listed on carfax, the car has never been titled. this is a small town and probably, no one knows what an svt is. the dealer has probably had it in his inventory for 2 years and is just trying to get it off of his books. full factory warranty so who cares if it has been test driven hard. the salesman does not let anyone totally abuse their cars. i certainly do not let people abuse my cars on a test drive. i do let them nail it from a rolling start just to see how it performs but usually they are reluctant to do so. i usually drive the car out on a test drive where i show how it performs with out abusing it then i let them drive it back to my car lot. if they like it, car is sold. this may be a good deal. i have bought about six cars from ebay and everyone has been as detailed. never sold any though i have tried about 55 cars at christmas time and none of them were bid high enough for me to make any money on them. waste of time and effort and money.

Never titled. Looks like a nice car. I wonder what the reserve is.

If this was 3-4 months from now and the reserve stayed low enough, I would be the next owner of this car. The reports look good to me, but I won't have the money until this summer. If anyone lives in the area, they should check it out! If anyone is looking for a 2000 CSVT right now, this could be the one!
