Need help deciphering carfax report!!!

posted by  someone claiming to be aircon boy on  Wed Oct 23 04:11 CST 2002 [RELATED]

That's very true, all of it. I love the one-hour overspray paintjobs with it all over the trim and moldings. I mean, HELLO? On a two year old car?

Whatever. That's why auctions exist.

Once you've done auction inspections at about two minutes apiece (especially when it is snowing outside and you're freezing) you get down to the basics pretty quickly. Extra seam sealer, odd welds and other giveaway signs become pretty obvious especially in the front where most damage happens. If it's done well, I don't really care much. But I've seen some pathetic repair jobs. All misaligned front plastic on an otherwise beautiful two year old Deville, with some of the inner quarter panel all crumpled. I mean, what is that? They couldn't take twenty more minutes to make it right. And other things.

I expect any used car in a major metro area to have had bodywork of some sort. Sometimes it's just because a golf ball whacked the door or quarter, or someone thumped a deer at 10mph. Stuff happens.

Here's the 92.
