Anyone with Carfax access?

Hey guys,

My car recently underwent a horrible, extreme makeover.. (thread here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59631 )

And I am interested to see what the Carfax now shows. Are there any benevolent members who could help me out?

Thanks in advance

update: thanks kcam86! shockingly enough, the carfax shows no accident.. i'm so confused right now

Just a couple comments on my own experiences with carfax.

If and when an incident shows up on a carfax report depends on how an incident was reported and/or corrected. Different states and provinces (canada) have different regulations on how incidents should be reported and when.

I have seen used cars with "clean" carfax reports that have repaired collision damage. I have also heard about cases where an incident takes months or years before they show up on a carfax report. Again it all depends on the local laws and the paper trail.

Words of advice to used car shoppers, always get a third party inspection even when a carfax is clean.
