Hi guys,
There are some cars I need to check on AutoCheck (http://www.autocheck.com/?siteID=0&WT.mc_id=0) so I'm planning to go for the Unlimited checks for 60 days offer, which costs USD 44.99.

I'm not going for Carfax because those wankers have become greedy, and charge USD 44.99 for 5 checks.

I don't have a credit card of my own, so I'll be asking a friend to purchase it for me, and I'll pay him. However, if any of you wants to perform a check too, we could do it together and split the costs evenly, therefore, it'll be cheaper for both of us. If there are more who are interested, let me know.

You could pay me via Wasel credit (lol) or...I don't know, can't think of another mode of payment!

Has anyone used this? http://www.decodethis.com

For the same VIN in AutoCheck, for which I get 27 records, I get 12 in this site!

Cheers.

Guys, I have a month left in my 60 day purchase, and I've only checked a few VINs. If you want me to do any for you, PM me your name, email address (so that I can send the report) and VIN number. It's completely free btw.

Cheers.

I was actually thinking of getting a first gen IS 300 from the states. I am really itching for a manual and was looking at some options with the supra (2JZ GTE) motor in it. Unfortunately the finances are not favourable right now else would have definitely taken up and checked some Vins. I do not want to check the Vins and then get all tempted and then heartbroken when I cant get the money together!

There's one for 40k, but its negotiable, on Dubizzle. It looks very nice, but the seller himself didn't know it was a salvage.

Is it the blue one? 2002 model? if that's the one then, it has a lot of kilometres and moreover it is an auto. I would rather get the one advertised on here if I wanted an Auto. I want a manual. I guess I will wait till the 'want' becomes a 'need'.

Yep, that's it. Oh well, if you do come across any VINs, you know who to contact (still have a month left, roughly).

Bump. I've found a US spec car which I'm interested in, and need to perform a check, therefore, I'll need to purchase another report package. These are my options:

AutoCheck - Unlimited reports - USD 45
AutoCheck - 1 Report - USD 30
AutoCheck - Unlimited reports + Title Guard - USD 60
Carfax - 1 Report - USD 35
Carfax - 5 Reports - USD 45

If someone wants to check some cars out, you're welcome to pitch in. I need to know as soon as possible. I'm not concerned with the details of the history of car, just want to know the type of damage/repair/write off and where it was driven (Texas, LA, etc.).

Cheers.

Hi All, I went ahead and got 5 Carfax reports for USD 45. So if you have any VINs to check, PM me. It'll cost you a tiny amount and you have 60 days to do so.

Uh, where, in Al Aweer? Sure, though I might drop the idea of the visit altogether!
