getting car history not carfax

Limeybastard · 04-29-2014, 02:56 PM

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.

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.

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.

Your Z is brand new

What kind of "history" are you looking to find about your 2014 370Z with 2100miles on it

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?

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.

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.

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.
