Car shows as used when checking VIN#?!
I am a bit surprised.. I bought my GLK 2 weeks ago from dealer, dealer claimed it is new with 150 miles since it was driven from "another dealer". However today when I put my VIN in google it shows a record that the car was listed as "used" on that dealer's website.
My question is, how come a 150 miles car used? If that IS used, I will be second owner, shall I consider the list a fraud? If so, I am gonna argue with the dealer since it will really **** me off if they tricked me to buy a used one, maybe someone returned it after 150 miles?
is carfax the most reliable source to verify if I am the first owner or second? if so I am gonna pay that $50 fee to check it.
Thanks for the help in advance

I wouldn't be too concerned...150 miles?? I would go to the dealership/salesperson where you bought the car and explain what you found. Have them run for you the carfax (they should do it for nothing). If they hesitate, a flag should go off....why does it list as used???
Also, if you don't get a reply from this thread, post this on another forum(s). There are many members who have access to carfax w/o you paying.

Thanks, I have carfax report, it only shows import record and one service record when it arrived dealership, and a record showing it was sold on the day I purchased it.
It has no any record of DMV shown yet, I guess it shall be fine?
