I'm in mexico in the process of buying a used town and country model 98, according to the seller the car is in very good shape, it has being legalized in mexico, but I wanted to do a little tracking in the history of this car, I found the page of Carfax, the vin numbber is 1C4GP64L2WB671443, but unfortunatly the repport brings 36 details in the history of this car, and I don't have a way to pay for the full repport from carfax since I don't have adress or american credit card to be able to pay for that report.
I read that in this forum there might be somebody that has paid for multiple reports and it will be almost not a problem to help me to get it.
I hope somebody can lend me a hand and make that possible for me, I will really appreciate if anybody can.
Thank you kind people.

I don't believe CarFax. I know for a fact it's unreliable. I use to have free access so I did all my vehicles and found it really didn't tell me anything and was missing some things that would be crucial to the history

The way I buy vehicles is:
look it over and pay particular attention to clues about how it was taken care of. Check common known problems (rusty strut towers in particular)..Are the miles indicative with the condition of the vehicle (ie says 80,000 but the brake pedal is worn out)

Make sure the Check engine light is functioning on startup and goes out along with ABS light and oil pressure light... this will determine if things have been tampered

drive the vehicle and observe condition.

Is it relatively cheap?

I buy vans of that vintage for a couple hundred $ and sell them for double or more to my Amigos who take them to Mexico. Over the past 5 years I've sold over 100 vans and cars to the same group of Mexicans.

 

What you posted is veryh helpful, I think I could be your customer because is a great busssiness to bring those used car to Mexico, Is there any way we could stay in contact for a possibility of doing future bussines buying cars from You?

 

what years can you buy? I have several 1996 grand caravans, and a 1999 town and country. I also have running/driving parts vans no titles (2000 town and country, 1999 town and country)
