Sorry to come out of nowhere, but could someone hook me up with one as well?
|
I can do an autocheck for you, post the vin or PM it.
|
will it show pretty much the same stuff as the carfax? thanks for it BTW.
|
It is my understanding that they are the same and use the same database.
|
well if someone still has access to carfax reports, let me know. im still curious to compare.
|
use the free autocheck player
|
I was considering purchasing a vehicle on eBay. The eBay provided auto check was clean, 2 wrecks on the car fax. I've never had another one not match, maybe auto check missed the old accidents due to the vehicle being a little older (1998).
|
I wouldnt consider 98 to be old...

Sinner.

Yeah car has a weird history and the guy seller it is a being a little odd about the history, so I want to make sure it all checks out. it's a 2009 with only 39K but he's apparently the third owner, where someone owned it for only a few before him and put 10Kmiles on it. Where the current owner has only put about that much on it in the last year of owning it.
Otherwise it looks pretty good in pics and I plan to see/but it on saturday if it checks out. |
I still think he is the second owner and that he moved. That would explain the excessive mileage, but would be interested to see a carfax on it.

looks pretty good on the outside, he said he was going to clean/detail before i see it saturday.
we'll see. Pretty sure I can get him to a price I'll be happy with. |
white is right
|
Autocheck put a little flag on my miata because the original owner missed a payment back in 1995... I am the second owner, and I know for a fact nothing was wrong with my car.

If that's racist, then the vanity plate "wht pwr" i was thinking about is???
|
Brain, PM the VIN
In my experience, Autocheck is better, and I run 20-40 carfax reports a month. |

Get it. Wear a white Santa hat while driving.
what's also annoying is that my wife doesnt want me to get a "dont tread on me license plate" because it costs an extra $10 annualy and that I understand the irony in it. she is very welcome to the idea of putting those stick figures you see on mini vans in sexual positions. her idea, not mine. |

She does a have point on the plate. paying the govt an extra $10 a year for a plate that stands for anti statism is somewhat ironic. She suggested a sticker instead. then went with the sexing stick figured.

I grew up on station wagons. she thinks it's retarded.
|
She has an easy target.
|
small car, fast as hell, hatchback for carrying a big load, awd. i dont see the problem.
|
My reply was to chpmnsws6, not you. You're the easy target.
Wagons are retarded. Subies are ugly to begin with, but a wagon is doubly so. |
Despite your opinion I'm going to the proud new owner of this wrx!

So. I guess you don't care about ringlands? |
nope. I dont care about ringlands in my stock DD that might see 45mph on a good traffic day.

Up to 60k

fae-tuning and stupidity shatters ringlands.
proper tuning and a short but effective mod list produces 400whp in a daily that looks stock |

20g-30r sized turbo of choice
spearco top mount IDs wally or dw free flowing exhaust Possibly header/ewg if you're into that stuff 3port Basically Well tuned and on e85 of course. See the dyno plot I posted in other thread from 09 STi I tuned today |
Or leave it stock and enjoy a nice reliable car. Having a modded DD is annoying.

Does the car have a factory warranty? I do suggest you look it up-- ringlands problem happens with all black everything. i mean all stock everything.
And I wont do a turbo swap, the VF52 is a pretty sweet daily driver turbo that can hit 300whp. |

Notice how I didn't start a thread: "I have a budget to buy a car, I dunno what to get, please all you gays a mt.net tell me what to buy" I had been debating the WRX, MS3, V70r, and A4/S4 wagon for a while now. The WRX won out and now I get to own one this week. It's in pretty good shape, the color I wanted, only 40K miles, and the guy kept it relatively in good shape. The body is in good shape, a few scratches here and there, a bunch on the door handle cups I think I can buff out, but other than that theres no rust, it's stock and will be a fun versatile DD. I dont have to worry much about snow anymore, I can finally pass minivans on the highway, and I wont have to borrow my in-laws minivan as much when I need to transport small objects. I might be able to throw away my spool of twine now...I'm tired of having to tie my trunk-lid shut when objects are too large to fit in any of my other cars. |
Wagon > Miata.
I'd trade my Miata for a decent wagon in a heartbeat. |
Well I'm keeping the miata of course
|
How much did you pay for it?
Note that a "stage 2" WRX with downpipe and exhaust and tune is faster than your miata. I was neck and neck with stage 2 WRXs back when I was at 10ish psi, gt3071 and 255hp on the York dyno. |
That is $1000 of mods. Add a wideband and boost gauge and you are at $1250. Add a $100 tactrix and you can tune it yourself.
The way you do fuel with the "open source" tuning is a little unintuitive but it works. No megasquirt but the knock detection is legit, timing table and trims are ez, and logging is fucking awesome. Runs at something like 40hz yay. |
I'm not modding it. And probably slower than miata at a roll
