I remember a while back...there were a couple of guys here who had unlimited CarFax access. An old, good friend of mine is having some trouble with her Volkswagen, and needs some documentation on her car to go after the dealer.

If anyone could be of help, I'd really appreciate it. You can post the results here, or email me at cluongo603@aol.com.

She's not sure which is the correct VIN, that's why I need two done:

3vwra81h4tm035779
3VWRA81H5TM035879

Hey man, thanks a lot; I'm sure my friend appreciates it. What about the other VIN, did it even bring anything back? My guess is that one VIN is just a typo by someone who handled the car when she was buying it.

Do you know what a "fleet vehicle" is........ souns like a rental car to me............ but I don't know of many places that rent VWs, let alone ones that are already used.


And everything else does check out...she did buy it from a New England area dealer...... (New Hampshire) and she does live in Haverhill, so it's probably the right car.
