Carfax for used SD purchase

I have decided to trade in the old 88 F150 today (159000 mi) and the new truck is a 2000 F250 Super Duty.
It has 68k on it, and in really good condition.
I am hoping that someone might have a membership to the Carfax site, and could post a report of this VIN#:1FTNX21LXYED03792
Thanks for any help!

I had a 30 day unlimited inquiry membership but when I just tried to log in, it said that my memebership expired 3 days ago......sorry I couldn't help.

If you're doing any vehicle shopping though, go ahead and spend the money for the 30 day version. It's cheap insurance.

It saved me once BIGTIME:

Several years ago, I was ready to purchase a used truck from an individual. I told the guy I wanted it but I wanted to check it out on Carfax first. Carfax revealed that the truck had a previous SALVAGE title on it in Arkansas but it showed a clean title issued when it was transferred to an Alabama used car dealer 5 minutes from my house which is where the man now selling had bought the truck. I told the man selling the truck what I had found and he was FURIOUS. He was an older gentleman who said he was going to go drive that truck right up the dealers a**!!
I actually went to that dealer myself looking at a truck on their lot and when I told the saleman what had I had via Carfax on the other truck, the salesmans only comment was "Oh, I'm not surprised, we do that all the time" (convert salvage titles to clean when bringing them into this state). Ridiculous

I've run the report...can you PM me your e-mail address so I can send it to you? I haven't been a member long enough to send e-mail through the site.

Wouldn't an OASIS run on the vin be more usefull? I would rather see what ford has seen the truck for. As for carfax, they have been know to be.. I guess the word would be incomplete?

Thanks for your reply.
I am curious about any info I could explore regarding this truck. To be honest, I am unfamiliar with an OASIS report.
How would I access that database?

OASIS is ford's database on any visits by that truck to the dealer for service. If you post a request on this forum for an OASIS run on your vin someone will most likely PM you and ask for your vin # and give you the results. You could also ask the dealer to see the OASIS report, they may give it to you.

Not only that, but if you pay for the report, you can register for their "buy back guarantee". If you buy a truck with a clean report and you find out later there was a major issue like a salvage title, they will buy it back!!! Here is proof http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2...31/017859.html

Cheap insurance for the $20 some dollars they charge...
