RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 01/05/19> I haven’t been in this position in a while… naming names won’t cost me.
Best of luck in your search! The F150 is a great, solid vehicle. I learned the hard way to take CarFax with a grain of salt, not all accidents are reported to them.
My '16 Prius was sideswiped by someone while it was parked on the street and when I took it to the body shop they told me it had previously been in a front-end collision (yet it had a clean Car Fax) and the entire front bumper had been replaced. If I would have known that I likely wouldn't have bought it, or would have tried to negotiate a lower price.
Thankfully, there were no other major problems and I've gotten a good year of trouble-free driving out of it.
My apologies Eric with this late reply I have been swamped with stuff this week. My Daily Dose has been shut down because of it.
The Carfax isn't a 100% accurate for sure, it relies on input from service outlets and insurance companies so if your car was repair by a shop that doesn't report and a body shop that doesn't it would have been missed for sure.
It would have helped to know though, you might have been able to get a better deal if you had had that information.
Thanks for the support, hopefully I can get caught up and get back to putting the Daily Dose out this weekend.
No problem, @sultnpapper! I hope you get a chance to have some R&R this weekend.
Well, the thought was good but not a chance as the weekend is over and I am still way behind. Maybe the 15th I can get a BBQ review done and get caught up.
Thanks man.
The weekends can slip away way too fast! I've been busy gathering everything together for taxes, maybe that torture will be done soon I can get back on some kind of regular blogging schedule. : ) My stomach always rumbles at the mere mention of BBQ. Have a good week!
