Howdy,
I've obtained free CarFax reports until the end of the month. If you are interested in buying a car and have the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), let me know and I'll try to run the report for you.

If you recently bought a Lexus or any other vehicle for that matter.

This is my way of getting to know some of you on this message board. I hope to stay active with this site and pass my information onto other Lexus guru's.

Cheers.
Damon
