melhadri Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 This is a response to a post recently closed due to.... I wasn't aware of the policy that someone else couldn't run a car history report for you on a vehicle (odometer, # of accidents...etc) you were thinking about buying. I thought I've seen it done on this site multiple times but could be mistakened? In any case, I just wanted to make it clear that my intentions were not to steal. Thanks for the clarification though.

dcfish Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 This is a response to a post recently closed due to....? Maybe I phrased it wrong, but all I was simply trying to do was have someone run a history report on a vehicle (odometer, # of accidents...etc) I was thinking about buying. I thought I've seen it done on this site multiple times? In any case, I just wanted to make it clear that my intentions were not to steal. Thanks. I may be wrong but if you ask someone for a service they are capable of providing and they agree to complete this service for free there is no theft or intent of theft. :whistles: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Whenever we see anyone trying to do it, we always close the thread. We don't take any disciplinary action against members for this though, people don't know its an issue. Its not theft against the person that has the Carfax account, its theft against Carfax. Part of the agreement you sign when you get a Carfax account says that it the membership is for personal history reports for the purchaser ONLY.

SW03ES Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 No problem. By using other people's Carfax accounts you're also missing out on their guarantee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake918 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I thought I've seen it done on this site multiple times but could be mistakened? You probably did see it on this site since we haven't had a full set mods in a while. I always close any of the carfax threads I see as well. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blake918 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 LOL I've only come across one in the LS forum, they are few and far between. And, now that there are decent number of mods, they are going to get closed very quickly! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I know you were harassed on a regular basis to get carfaxs. I didn't know it was frowned upon either until I looked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
