Default desperate, need carfax for shady 944S I just bought

WPOAA2946jn465373 - 1988 Porsche 944 S

Just bought it today, very cheap. But judging by the circumstances under which I bought it, I do not trust the PO, it looks like it has had accidents, etc. The title also looks shady to me.

Please help those of you who have carfax!

Post here or email to mwn25@msn.com.

Thanks so much.

i'm not trying to be a jerk, but i have to ask...is there a reason you didn't do a carfax before you bought the car?

I should have done it before, but I did not see the actual title until today (after I had handed over the cash, and with the tow truck waiting to take it away). I thought everything was normal until that point, when I saw the car had travelled negative some thousand miles in the past 2 years when it was not even registered.

I am not too worried, as I got it so cheap, but I bought it from a guy who admitted he was having IRS problems, etc, and I just want to know the truth about its history.

Hey,

I was going to check this car out Wednesday with the hopes of buying it. While your running Mark's could you also check JH4KA316XLC013625 out as well? I'd be happy to put a few bucks in a pay pal for the favor, thanks!!
