The little high milage car crapped out again for the 3 time in as many months and got fed up and started looking for another 3500 CTD. Found a beauty down at a used car lot. Red 98 12v, loaded, only problem was an automatic but I could live with that. Was priced to high but would haggle down. I checked CarFax and found that it had been given a salvage title in Chantilla VA. Then it was given a clean title in another county in Va 3 months later (Rustmond, Rustland or some such) and was transported here to Alaska and trying to be sold.

That CarFax is great, saved me a butt load of potential problems! It's worth the 14. 99 to check it out

Good thing to remember when buying a used vehicle. Well worth a couple of bucks!

Good advice, same as getting a rep shop to go over it like an inspection. We were looking for a small car, came across one that drove well and looked great (must of been detailed) only thing I could pick out on the test drive was that it needed one new front strut. So we take it into a same dealership and give them a $100 to do a once over. I came back a few hours later and the first thing the service guy said to me was "RUN". He had a shopping list of this that the average joe couldn't see and would need fixing to make it a safe reliable vehicle. Same thing as car fax, best money spent, just a lttle more.

Good Find, WDaniels



Imagine the aggravation of trying to get your money back after you already bought it.

Sounds much along the same lines as the cars involved in serious flooding in the southern states - then cleaned up, hauled outta state and resold as merely "previously owned"...
