At your service!

[abailey4]

My name is Derrick. I'm a Used car assistant manager in Northern Virginia. I just wanted to let everybody know that if you need VIN #'s ran for Carfax or just need advice when goin to a dealer I'm more than willing to help. Why would I do this? Well it gives me a chance to talk to people that I might have never talked and I know what it feels like to be a customer as well. Also we have an account with Carfax at my job so it's all free to me. I did a thread like this on gen7 and everybody loved it. So if you want you can just post your questions or VIN or PM me.

[RTexasF]

Derrick has been very helpful to members on gen7accord by offering this service. He's not trying to peddle anything here, just offering to help.

[pitt]

Its good to have such offer. Thanks, Derrick.

[abailey4]

Thanks for the props Rick!

[RTexasF]

It is well deserved. A lot of crap goes down on forums and I didn't want the peeps here thinking you were up to no good.

[stiller fan]

HI Derrick,
Can you please tell me the history of this car.
VIN# 2T1BR12E92C567300


Your 2002 Toyota Corolla shows an accident 11/17/2005 in Orlando, Florida and then on 1/25/2006 it shows the a auto parts provider requested parts for the damage(left side mirror and left side fender). After that it doesnt show an accident but it does say on 8/20/2007 that another auto parts provider in Kissimmee, FL requested parts to repair damage again(right side headlamp, right side fender, right rear side marker lamp, and windshield.

[abailey4]

Anybody who request a carfax ran, if you want the results private please request it. Otherwise I will be just posting it as a reply in this thread. Thanks!

Thanks bro :thmsup: The guy selling it says he bought it used from a Florida dealer several years ago but it only shows 1 owner, and that the car should show as being registered in Nevada. It will be interesting to see if the Carfax report shows this info.

[stevencrosbie]

If you go to a GM forum...many of those guys an pull up GM's database and show you if any service/recalls/warranty have been performed on the vehicle.

GM's tracking system is very nice.

[RTexasF]

I'm going to say this again. Abailey4 is top notch and anything he offers is sincere. I personally vouch for him.

Carfax is clean as well on the 98' Accord.

[mwmcginn]

Thank you too!

[d9988]

Can I get another on this? Supposed to be a clean title but the carfax summary indicates there's over 20 records which seems like quite a bit for an 02.

1G1YY12S225117058

You can PM or email davidoly@yahoo.com also - don't want to clutter things up too much. Thanks much :thmsup:

[stevencrosbie]

Just FYI guys....be careful about posting the results. I know of some forums (Acurazine) where the Carfax guys have billed the person who was supplying these reports.

I'd keep this in the PMs just to be safe....but just a warning. Do as you wish with it. :)

[ricallen]

PM sent! And thanks very much!

[mistabeo]

hey bailey.. you work in the NOVA area? was curious (not looking for a car though) if you could give any hookup prices to people around this area? not asking to rob you though..

i already got my car from honda of tyson's corner.

When it comes to Carfax's remember that anything can count as a record-i.e. registration renewals, inspections, if someone moved to another city or state. Your results are PM'ed.

[abailey4]

Yeah i work at Brown's in Fairfax for anybody in the area. PM if you are looking for a vehicle or anybody you know that is looking for a vehicle. I would prefer the referer contact me first so that I can get the rundown on what's goin on and then let me contact the referee. Thanks guys, and sorry for the late responses. I sometimes forget how many forums I'm on!

[The Critic]

Sent you a PM. Thanks in advance!

Where are the thefts! Wrecks! :naughty:

LOL. I could post up the VIN of my old Subaru WRX. When I was shopping for a newer car a couple years after selling, I found that mine was shipped to NJ from my state of MD, stolen, then wrecked, and finally wrote off as a total loss.

Any advice for a first time buyer?

I've done tons of research online but i'm sure i've forgotten something.

What are the 5 or 10 (or 15 or 20 lol) things that a new buyer MUST know when dealing with dealers/salesmen?

[Accordlover]

Did you get my PM?

If you have time it'd be appreciated. Thanks...

My biggest piece of advice is treat the salesman the way you want to be treated. Only buy from someone you trust, always run a
Carfax, always test drive the car. During negotiations always make an offer or two but within reason so that they dont think you're just jerking them around.

Also for a first time buyer it is hard to get financing so if somehow you can get that taken care of before you even go see your first car it will make things that much easier. Because that once you step on a lot you already know what your limit is and you'll know your options. If you need any other help just let me know.
