Default Car fax request

Hey guys I'm thinking about buying a 2001 boxster with 41k miles and I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to run a car fax for me. It would be greatly appreciated! The VIN number is WPOCA29871U624192. This will be my first car purchase of this caliber and I'm a little nervous so any help would be appreciated, thanks again. -FLank

That vin is incorrect - however WP0CA29871U624192 is the one you are looking for. Sorry it didnt come out too well, but the gist of the story is that there were no real causes for concern and it was 2-owner Texas vehicle.

A curbstoner is a person who purchases vehicles at volumes that require a dealer license and then poses as a private seller to sell to unsuspecting buyers for a large profit. Curbstoning is illegal in most States.

ok, I'm a little confused by the report, so it was only owned for 3 months, then they sold it? Was it then a rental/demo car?

Gents,

you really want to delete the carfax, it's against Rennlist policy.

Thanks
