Ohio Police Reports:
Ohio provides an estimate of the extent of damage in its accident reports. Use these general descriptions to help you interpret the different damage levels:
SEVERE: The vehicle cannot be driven from the accident scene due to severe damage or an injury. This level of damage often results in a Salvage or Junk title. Check Section 1 - Total Loss Check for these problem titles.
MODERATE: The accident damage affects the operation of the vehicle and/or its parts. Examples include broken windows, trunk lids, doors, bumpers and tires.
MINOR: The accident damage does not affect the operation of the vehicle. Examples include dented bumpers, fenders, grills and body panels. This level of accident should not compromise vehicle safety.
NO DAMAGE: The vehicle was not damaged.
Are processed if the estimated damage exceeds $400
Are released to CARFAX approximately 2 months after the accident date

According to the National Safety Council, Injury Facts, 2003 edition, 12% of the 243 million registered vehicles in the U.S. were involved in an accident in 2002. Over 90% of these were considered minor or moderate.

Wow.

Jesus Christ.

Get Carfax, people. It's worth every penny. Failed its emissions test? Registered as a corporate lease vehicle in Nevada? What a joke. Interesting though - Carfax got the engine wrong on that car. It's a '96, and that engine didn't debut until 1997 - and even then, the code was LS56, not LS57. Makes me question their accuracy a bit.
 
How much longer do you have? I'm curious to see my car's history! :D

Nah - Carfax is definitely wrong. There's a million ways it's wrong - the VIN is a turbo VIN, not a GLT Turbo VIN, I've seen under the hood, the rear says "Turbo," it's a '96 not a '97... must just be mis-reported information or something.

Thanks for the heads up, I did not know that. 👍

Were all GTIs built in Brazil?

It's a possibility - a lot of Golf-platform Volkswagens were built there, including all Corrados. Check VINs on the ones you're looking at - 3 means Mexico, which is a slight step up over 9, Brazil. I don't think any except R32s will carry a W VIN, which is Germany.

Boy - there's a pretty clear odometer rollback. It's definitely no clerical error - that vehicle was actually pushing 200,000km when it got its emissions test in January 2002, even though it only showed 74,000km.

This is interesting - I almost feel like finding some VINs on AutoTrader just to check some random cars out!

8/28 it was shipped to a dealer, and 9/8 the title was issued. I don't think this vehicle was sitting on the lot more than a couple of days before someone bought it. Maybe two. Average auto industry turnaround time is a month or two, for some brands (*cough* Mitsubishi, Isuzu *cough*) it's more than four.

That's a slow turnaround time... :sick: No wonder profit margins are so thin for car manufacturers. :scared:
