You should use both auto check and carfax. I used both buying my used IS. Each had info the other didn't.

I concur. Recently there was another thread on CL where someone got Carfax and it was clean, bought the car, then found frame damage and looked at the Autocheck and found the accident was reported there. So unfortunately, the only way to do full due diligence is to check both.

Jus10s

well good thing i asked you guys...I had already thought it was too good to be true. Guess I will keep looking. I really don't want to buy from a private owner anyways.

On a side note, can one of you do a carFax / autocheck on my ride? Never received one and I'm curious now...

PM me if your willing to do so, much appreciation.

Yeah, please do not buy this 350 and thank me later. I love how the CarFax put it this way :

SEVERE/TOTALED: The vehicle cannot be driven from the accident scene due to severe damage or an injury. This level of damage often results in a Salvage or Junk title.

LOL!

OP, if you really want a good price on a 350 in this area...it won't happen. You will either get VERY lucky or you will have to shop out of the area. Take myself for example, I got my 350 in April '11 and flew into NJ, purchased it, and drove it back here to SC.
