Can someone run a car fax for me? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I'm cheap and can't see spending 44.95 for a single carfax report. Can anyone help a brother out?

I Googled the VIN.

Vin 1C3AL56R83N557295: Bid and win similar vehicles like 2003 Chrysler Sebring Lx 6 cylinders at Autobidmaster.com, a Copart Auto Auctions registered .

Seldom a good sign when the VIN comes back to bidding on COPART.

What does that usually mean?

Copart site is down right now. Can't tell for sure.

Car simply could have been run through an auction in one of the used lanes, or sat in a Copart salvage yard after being clobbered by a semi and went to the highest bidder, and gotten rebuilt.

I'm thinking it was run through the auction simply as a used car, since there isn't a pent up demand for rebuilt salvage 2003 Chryslers.

Would really need to comb COPART when its back up and running, or see a CARFAX and hope the info is correct.

Interestingly enough one of the vinaudit sites shows it sold at auction December 2010 and there is a picture preview which appears to be it with a missing fender and front end damage. That is consistent with some of the signs I see on the car.

Yea, thats not a GM VIN

So I guess early in its life,
It was clobbered and put back together.
