Default I just ran a carfax on my car(more)

First, I purchased the 30day carfax deal because I have been looking at selling my B6 and picking up a different car. That being said, I thought for ***** and giggles I'd put my VIN in and search...

Well there are no records since I purchased the car. The car has ONLY been serviced by dealerships. I can't believe nothing shows up. When the next buyer of my car comes along and runs a carfax, how is that supposed to make them feel confident they are getting a problem free car?

Also: I could swear I don't remember seeing this before when I bought it, but it says the suspension was serviced with 12 miles on the odometer. I wonder if that has to do with the weird handling problems I was feeling when I thought it was the wheel bearings going bad? hmm.

carfax doesn't cover service appointments. it covers reported accidents, etc.

Default but how come there are records stating "vehicle serviced" every 10K miles all over the report?

the previous owner brought the car in for all its scheduled maintanence and it shows up in the carfax.

Because the dealer reported it on their own accord to Carfart.

Default want to run one on my car :)

It says accident September 18, 2001.

I bought the car October 9, 2001.

My car wasn't in the country in September and conveniently enough I totalled my first car on September 18, 2001.

Idiots!
