HI all,
My brother just purchased a Carfax report for a car he is selling and decid=
ed
to run one on his old GTI that was totaled almost 2 years ago.
The report showed a clean history and he e-mailed me to let me know (first
thread).

Well, I forwarded a "whats going on" to Carfax to see what their response
would be.
I thought some of you might be interested in hearing their response as well=
.
So I will send them in as I get them.
Oh by the way, excuse his language on the first thread. :(
