    A big shout out to Freeper car-boys and ladies too. I bought this Honda Fit a few weeks ago. I saved the carfax report here>> IN PDF https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B7QZPTQ46hboktBAHlArJ8g1fr2JfcD9/view?usp=sharing Carfax says 14000 miles but on the electronic odometer it said less than 4000. I saw this in person at the Auto nation dealership. I looked in (me personally) at the dashboard and saw this lower number. The car is very good overall but what makes me suspicious of the actual mileage is that the brakes pulse a bit. As if they need resurfacing. Can Freepers explain this disjointed carfax report to...

    WASHINGTON (AP) - A national database that allows consumers to view the history of used vehicles went into effect this year, but federal official said Tuesday that some states are not contributing vehicle records to the system. The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System allows potential used car buyers to check the title, odometer reading, accident history and other information for a fee of less than $5. The system was first proposed in the early 1990s, but was stalled until consumer protection agencies took legal action forcing the federal government to enact the program. It is currently administered by the...

    GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- In the market for a good used car? Watch out for vehicles that sat submerged for days in the flooded streets of New Orleans, Biloxi or other Gulf Coast cities ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. Insurance companies usually purchase such vehicles from policyholders, declare them "totaled" and then sell them at auction to be resold for parts, many of which will still be suitable for use in other cars and trucks. But some unscrupulous dealers and wholesalers buy flood-damaged cars at scrap prices, clean them up, retitle them and resell them. The vehicles may look good, but...
