Default New to CF! **Update**

Hey guys! My name is Roy AKA Bubba and new to CF but not too new to LSX engines. I Recently Hydroplaned my 1999 Camaro Z28 in the rain and got a salvage title =(. I got some money for it and ended up buying the car back from the insurance and sold it for a good price.

I am in the market for a 05 C6 and I think I have found one. If all goes good I will have it by next Saturday. It is a Black/Tan 6 Speed, now since I am pretty sure I will be getting the car I wanted someone to help me out on a carfax, just to get some info on the car. If anyone can help me out just post up and I will shoot you a PM with the VIN#.

Thanks Guys!

**Well guys I got her!!!

It needs minor lower bumper repair but I got a great deal on her! 3rd party buy, paid 21k financed 16k. Got her with 58k, the car was supper taken care of never raced or anything completely stock. Here are some pics, she is a little dirty but since its going to rain tomorrow I decided to wait till it stops..and yes she will be driven in the rain. She is fully loaded except navi and glass roof, its a Z51 aswell. **







I will get better pics when I wash her and polish her wheels. What do you all think?

Welcome to the Forum!!!!!! Good luck with that '05.


As TN2005C6 said, by Forum rules AND Carfax rules, no one can run a Carfax for someone else. So.....you will have to pay the one time fee and get the Carfax for yourself, assuming you aren't buying from a dealer who should provide a Carfax for you.

What we can do for you is provide a VIS report. We have several members who will run the VIN in GM's database (Vehicle Information System) and send you the VIS report. It will contain the car's entire history including in service date, a list of all equipment and options and complete service history. What you have to do is post a thread in C6 General titled something like "Need VIS Report". Put in a short sentence explaining you just bought, or are about to buy, this '05 and put in the VIN and your email address which is where the report will be sent.
