I did run a Carfax using that free link in the talk forum, but the only info offered was where the VX was originally titled (Orlando DMV). I guess I'm assuming that it's one of the full Carfax reports that you referred to, but no previous owner names were included. It gave the Florida title number, but when I went to the Florida DMV website, and downloaded the appropriate vehicle history request form, the small print didn't include a private individual being able to submit the form for pre-purchase informational purposes. The name of the Orlando dealer wasn't listed on Carfax either.Originally posted by Joe_Black
Can't imagine a vehicle more likely to end up far away from it's original selling point than a VX!I bought mine in Chicago of all places! LOL! Understand your concern though. Did you get the full CarFax? I know you used to be able to get previous owner info on them, but that may have changed. In any case, here's a link to the Florida DMV. Usually pretty easy people to deal with and hopefully can provide what you're looking for. Also, have you tried contacting the Orlando dealership?
From the Orlando dealership, the car was taken to auction, and bought by a dealership in Sioux Falls, SD. From there it went to the current dealership (again I'm assuming there were no other stopping points) in Nebraska.
A circuitous route to be sure, and maybe there's no need for concern. It may just be that with the VX being a 4x4, the person who bought it for the dealership in SD felt it would sell easier farther north? But, I'd rather make a decision based on more info than that, so I'm open to any other suggestions.
