Hey guys my girlfriend just bought a new/used 2006 civic with 15k on it. There was a "typo" on her title where they apparently mistook an "S" for an "8". I guess i can see how this happened, they do look similar.

But...the whole thing has me a little wierded out b/c there was apparently another mistake on there too. there are 8 records for this car on the carfax database...and with a 1 owner car with 15k that seems odd too.

If someone with an account could run the VIN for me i would really appreciate it. please let me know and i'll give you the VIN....thanks in advance.

25th thanks for doing that for me...i really appreciate it.

you're not kiddin. My girl's uncle works/owns a dealership and they bought this car at auction. They have bought multiple cars from him before and i guess they trust him.

When they went to register the car, there was a "typo" for the VIN on the title. I thought this was odd and here we are now. I think we are going to give the car back...and just tell the guy sorry...you lied to us and told us the carfax was good/clean and it wasn't. Then you made us pay "full price." what a d-bag.

Sounds like a trashed car to me... I would talk to the guy you bought the car from.
