[Scope951]

So i was just at a sellers house picking up a sweet deal for a 92 240sx LE. 800$

Apparently a 15 year old and his family obught it as his first car in BC, so sounded find so i ran it though Carfax and it said the vehical has been reported stolen?

should i run the vin through carproof aswell?
to see if US carfax missed something?

ya never trust car fax. do the search through you local registry. i had a huge fight with carfax and they ended up buying my car back for wrong information... after 3 months of fighting with them

I didnt buy the car haha, i had a down payment, but she gave it back.
She said she will get it checked and let me know when i can come back for it.

[dr_jared88]

yea, but im just saying. carfax, especially on canadian registered vehicles, have mistakes more often then not. so its alright to give you an idea about the car, but i wouldnt trust my life on it

Q Is there a place where I can check whether a vehicle is stolen?
A Yes. The Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) website allows the public to check the ‘stolen’ status of a vehicle using either a vehicle identification number (VIN) or a licence plate. The vehicle records in this database are updated every day and the property files are updated every Tuesday morning. It is important to note that even if you get a positive response to your search, it does not necessarily mean the item is stolen. If you do get a positive response, the item’s status should then be confirmed with your local police." The web page can be accessed at http://www.cpic-cipc.ca/English/index.cfm
