IMPORTANT! The 13 records on this 1988 BMW 325 AUTOMATIC will confirm a clean history or uncover potential problems. Find out by ordering the complete CARFAX Vehicle History Report.


FYI...my 2000 pulled 6 or 7 records, all inspections and registration. I asked for and got a refund on the complete report.

yea the reason i hate carfax is that it just goes by dmv records and what the title has to say. we deal with alotta salvage titled car with minor wrecks and carfax scares our customers by says JUNK TITLES. even thought they are not actual junk titles that are also given by the insurance companies. weird. we've had some clear titled cars that were wrecked and car fax doesn't say anything about them. my freind bought a car from another dealer that had been wrecked 2 times from the front and had been cut in half. only foudn this out after buying the car. carfax was clear.

me? oh it's the one on ebay, chrome stripes across. so far about 10 months, no probs. $80

the strobes just flash. i have them clear white and put in the signal lamps. i'm gonna get rear ones. the first pair was kinda a try out thing since it was only 10 bucks at autozone. ha. works good. actually pretty bright at medium speeds.

Yeah, I just went ahead and paid for autocheck. The only thing of interest was a failed emmisions test in Washington DC in 1996. Everything else is all good.
