Find out what day your car was built

[George]

QuickD:
Of course I am not interested in the previous car fax for another car, but I do have a question. When they say, "7 records found, order here", does that mean that there are 7 bad things related to that car? Accidents etc. ? Or just who the previous owner was?
Just curious!

 

[2002 SR-71]

Thanks again... I found that too before I bought it. Verified it was a one owner with no problems reported. But, I didn't look at the historical data until now.

George... 7 is the number of historical items about the car. First one shows the build date (mine was 8/22/2002). The car was sold to the original owner 10/01/2002, and traded into the dealer on 01/12/2004, from whom I later bought it.

This is a really interesting car... it took over a year to build - the only explanation I can think of for that was that the dealer kept changing the specifications of the car and it went back to the end of the scheduled build sequence. You said CarFax reports the build date as 8/22/02, the Ford people I was in touch with today insist their data is correct - that it was built the 19th.
I wonder how the fact you got a 2003 engine figured into the deal. Ford could not have been puting many of the 280 horse engines in by August because production of the 2003 Bird and Lincoln LS was delayed until November 2002 due to lack of the 280hp engine supply.

2002 SR-71, did you pay for a subscription to CarFax reports or only for one report? If you can still run free reports look and see when DaveDs car, VIN 1FAHP60A62Y124116, was reported sold. The Ford system says 7/31/03 and he says he didn't get it until November so we're wondering if the dealer sold the car to somone else who backed out, or if the car was titled to someone else, or a lease company, before he got it.

Thanks,

CarFax Info

QuickDraw,

Thanks for the info! The engine and the SelectShift transmission might explain the delay, but your point on November availability casts some doubt. Still no confirmation on my end on the 280 hp motor. Do any of your Ford sources know locations to check? Location of engine numbers? (though they're probably not accessible with the motor installed)

I bought a subscription good for a couple more days....

DaveD,

You car comes up clean, with 3 historical entries:
08/08/2002 Vehicle manufactured and delivered to dealer
11/14/2003 Title issued in NY and first owner reported
11/14/2003 Registered in NY as a personal vehicle

No explaination as to the one year lag, but no other owner reported.

Best Regards,
Jack / 2002 SR-71

VIN - When was it built

my VIN is 1FAHP60AX3Y111399

 

[Quickdraw]

Benclary,
Can't check your VIN until Monday but if your red is a premium, with a red hard top, with the partial red interior I can tell you yours is one of only 556 built like that.

[Julie Butler]

Harry....I have a real dumb question....but please be patient.
What exactly is the difference between the deluxe and the premium? Thanks in advance.
Julie

 

[Quickdraw]

Not a dumb question at all - The deluxe has 21 spoke silver painted wheels and the premium has seven spoke chrome wheels.

I think there is one other difference but it escapes me now... maybe the deluxe doesn't have the traction control? Can anyone else clarify?
