getting car history not carfax
 

I remember a few years ago I was able to get all the work that was carried out by the previous owner of my Acura ( was bought used ) from the Acura main dealership.

Will Nissan do the same if I provide VIN?

They can, but also remember people do not always go to the dealership for maintenance so it could be lacking.

Thanks, do I have to go to Nissan dealer or can Nissan online do this?

I would say go to the dealership, probably easier and you can also check on warranty items and other TSB.

Thanks, will do. I dont have the tools for oil change on this platform, so will request this information on first oil change. Currently has 2100 miles so time to change the first oil.

Your Z is brand new:icon14:
What kind of "history" are you looking to find about your 2014 370Z with 2100miles on it:ugh2:

2014 calls for first oil change at 5000 miles.

As to car history from VIN, who does that? I've never taken any Nissan I've ever owned to the dealer for anything, except maybe my wife's Murano a couple of years ago for a faulty TPMS.

OP, at what point are you going to relax and enjoy your new car? :rofl2:

:iagree: Put the joint down, take a nap for a few hours (or as many as you need to be safe :icon17: ) and go for a drive :driving:

That car has HIGH mileage! My 2013 Nismo only has 1395 miles on it!LOL!

I bought it used at 1551 miles. I found out who the previous owner was and all, but a few things I noticed about the car made me think some work had perhaps been done to it. Also, bearing in mind I am one of those OCD para noid freek zoids. So, always assuming the worse LOL.
Cue my other posts if you can be kind enough to search them you will see.

You are so correct. I am one of those people, that even I could find defects perhaps in a Buggati Veron.

What would it take to put you at ease to the point where you can enjoy the car? :rofl2: We all pretty much agree that it wasn't wrecked and put back together based on your photos. It's too new to be behind on maintenance. What else is left?

Have a coke and a smile, and enjoy your new car. There's very little doubt in my mind that it's 100% ok.

Hey LB,

Nissan told me that they have no central database of service done to automobiles, each dealership keeps their own service records. True? I don't know, if anyone knows different tell me please. This was directly from Nissan Corp when I inquired about service records of my used Z, I provided VIN, bill of sale, everything to prove ownership, then they tell me after jumping thru all those hoops they can't help me....

I think u need to re-look your posts.......

Its near brand new:icon14:

What are u gonna.be threading after 10,000.ms??!?
I think Chuck has it right:hello:

WTF will it take.for u to just drive it and enjoy what u have. Once something fails...


Its a 2014 Nismo with 2100ms on IT!!
Take it IN FOR WARRANTY!!!!!!!!

Just enjoy and stop worrying. It is brand new and good for years to come.

A little secret... I bought the car last wednesday with 15XX miles on her, now she has 23XX miles. I dont even use it for commute.:driving:

Limey, are you concerned that the car was perhaps returned under the Lemon Law or repeated-but-failed repair issues? That would make sense and be a valid concern IMHO. One does have to wonder why it was for sale at 1500 miles.

Exactly, well said. I dont think it was returned under the lemon law as the booklet ( florida one ) came with the service wallet which also included the previous owners name and date of purchase. The lemon law booklet has spaces for the amount of times the car came in for such work ( all empty ) the car was purchased at Pearsons Nissan in Ocala, and then traded in at Love Chevorlet in Homossa which is also close to that area.

I even found a google cache copy of my car for sale at Love Chevorlet stating that it was a local trade in which sounds about right. Then the car I am assuming was sold to my local Mazda dealer approx 20 miles away from Love Cheverolet. The Z had just been delivered that day and was not even detailed when I bought it. The previous owner was a married man of 52 year of age that I do know from looking up his name and details courtesy of them leaving it in one of the pages of the Florida Lemon Law agreement that he signed at the time of purchase from originating dealer Pearson Nissan of Ocala.

I used to work in the bodyshop industry many years ago back in England, UK. I have reviewed all bolts screws and areas where I assumed collision repair and could not identify anything that has been changed. I will be using a PTG device on Monday to be sure, however.

Going back to what you said about trading in a vehicle at 1500 miles, that is IMHO also a red flag hence my caution. I guess coming from primarily a BMW background, that is what I owned and drove many in the UK It came as a suprise to find "factory" faults in body and also some other areas in a few Japanese cars that I have owned since living in the USA. Example, my previous ride a 2013 Mazdaspeed 3 which had 2 miles on the ODO, after detailing that car, I did notice a couple of dust particles in the hood. Albeit they were the size of a sharp pencil tip and acceptable under the words "factory tolerence" I guess LOL.

Appart from the few issues I posted earlier the Z seems to be good to go. My main concern was the thread about the rear light gaps which raised all this initially.

More of a yellow flag than a red one, IMNSHO. Lots of "early turnover" on Big Boy Toys (boats, sports cars, ATVs, &c). Still possible that it's a wreck or lemon, but there are lots of good reasons for a low mileage trade-in.

Since you have some bodywork experience and have made a through inspection without finding any evidence of repairs, I'd guess that someone bought the car and then decided it was too small or fast or expensive or whatever.

Hey Limey,

My Z was 2009 with 11K on it. When I got it I had a 150 mile/5 day return window, so I took it to our shop and we went over it with a fine tooth comb, didn't find any nuts shiny, paints, nothing had ever been taken off/on the car, even had original tires. Even the paint was pristine, minimum swirls, appeared to have been hand washed it's entire life. I got under it and there was even very little grease spun out from the diff joints. So, it is possible to find a cherry once in a while. The CarFax listed two owners, originally sold in GA and then resold here in FL.
While I don't give Carfax that much credit, it's nice to have an apparently clean bill of health anyway.
The salesman told me a pregnant woman traded it in for a van.....I just looked at him and said oh wow. I don't believe anything a car salesman says.

PS: My wife and I bought a 2007 Santa Fe with 600 miles on it, the salesman told me a woman brought it back for another color....7 years later still no problems with it. Of course we got factory warranty.
