I have in the past but it's been a while...

It's worth the price these days...

I helped my son buy a car recently and a Carfax or other guarantee was a must. One place where we looked, A car dealer tried to hook us with an outdated Carfax... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

We didn't take the bait... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Well, I am looking at an Mr2 Spyder. its a 2000 but has 130,000 on the clock... and thats allot of opportunity for trouble... So I definately want to run it... If I can't find a hookup, I will spend the $30-50 or whatever... but generally, when i pay for it, I post in the forums i frequent that i can run for others... and just in case anyone else is has recently paid for the month access.. I thought id check...

It is cheap insurance but I would way rather find a buddy who already had it than buy one to use once. Good thinking Ironballs.

I am terrible at buying used cars. I always want something cool. I needed a halfton and ended up with a 86 F350 dumptruck dually with a 460 and a 4 speed.
The thing was indestructible and could move a house but driving it to school nearly bankrupted me and it was the ugliest vehicle ever. The vehicle before that was a Ranger 4X4 that I painted urban(black white and grey) camo. It needed constant attention to keep running had the most complicated eletronic carb in history and looked like I was in the Taliban.

If I was buying a car now I would probably end up with a 80's Shelby Rampage(mini elcamino)I have had my eye on.

That is a very good idea.

I had a friend/coworker who had one recently, so I called him to check, but it's already expired... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
