CARFAX / SGS Scam

[Chopper]

I'm puzzled by the thought process of the dude in Texas- why allow someone to travel from S. Florida to Houston, to do a prepurchase inspection on a misrepresented vehicle. Hoping for a dope? Hoping he doesn't beat your ***, then get back on his plane? Steve, did you get the deposit money back...or was it not an auction car? There are tons of used TTs around, try again. Wayne

It was an auction car... from a shady used car dealer. I got the deposit back. I would never beat someone up, but I was seriously pissed at them for wasting my time, and I let them know that.

I've always thought that there were too many ways for CARFAX to NOT have the correct information about a car. If I wreck my VX and take it to Jims Auto Body and pay out of pocket to fix it, CARFAX would never know. Although its probably the best service out there, I have always thought it was a racket.

Once again, this was not a CARFAX report - it was a different service they offer where they send someone out to inspect your vehicle in person.

... from a shady used car dealer.

Yes, some of them are straight-up crooks.
