I know when you sign up for carfax I think you have a month or 3 VIN#'s you can run through or something like that. I found a 240 for sale for really cheap and was wondering if anyone could run it through for me. It seems kinda "iffy" so I was taking my time and wanted to find everything out about it. The kid told me it was in an accident with the previous owner. Just wanted to know what carfax has to say about it....
Here is the VIN# if anyone could be so kind and help me out!
jn1hs36p0kw036678
Thanks alot in advance.....

What does a salvage title consist of? Does it mean that it was totalled? But I guess it was fixed because he said it ran and drives perfect?
If you can, I have another VIN# that is actually my car. I bought my car from a friend who got in a bad accident. I wonder if mine is also a Salavage title. I will get you the vin by tomorrow if you could run another. Thanks alot............
Oh by the way. Do you think its worth even going to look at? The only reason I wanted it was because of really low mileages at a really low price? Let me know your opinion. Thanks alot again...

A salvage title means it has sustained damage/been fixed, for an amounjt above a certain dollar figure.
This dollar figure varies by state.It can be 3000,6000 or a certain percentage of the retail value (again depending on state).
Eiether way, it means the car has at some point in its life sustained a substantial accident.
For this reason many are leery of buying such cars and some wont consider them altogether.
If the price is right and an expert checking the car out feels its not an issueI would definetlystill consider it if the price is right (and it often is as sellers know usch cars are hard to sell)).
It's easy to get lowprices for such cars.
(Of course there is a reason sometimes damage simply cannot be completely fixed ever)
Do what you feel is prudent, just keep the above points in mind.

Thanks alot for the information. I definatly think the price is right. According to the current seller he had no idea and the whole salvage title thing has gotten him kinda upset. He said he never knew it and the car certainly doesnt show it. If he didnt notice it, it probable is still worth going to look at. It is an 1989 with 95,000miles on it and he only wants $800
