When I questioned them further about it (six months ago), they finally said they would send me a form so I could have it included in CarFax. They did send me the form but I didn't follow thru because it would have only shown my ownership/registration and not the previous ones.
Some programmer wrote the code to reject "bad" VINs but that person didn't realize that people were registering Euro vehicles in the US. |

This is the response from CarFax on Euro VIN's:
Hello Martin,
Thanks for contacting Carfax by email.
Given that the VIN does not conform to US VIN standards, we'll not be able to offer any history on it.
I suggest you contact the DMV where it is currently registered to learn what you can.

I was not able to get anything either.
I am writing the carfax help desk to see what the story is. Let you know.

My '86 328 is a Euro and the last time I ran CarFax, it wasn't there.
Martin... If you want to try again:

I don't think so. If you get the VIN I can run the carfax, I have 2 months free. Just bought a new car for my wife, a CLK430 out of NY.
VIN's from the early days will not show up either. Has to be a 17 digit VIN. |

my 82 308 shows the history since it arrived in 83. I have a complete carfax report for my car. It is a euro. |

Will European market ferraris brought to the U.S. show up on carfax.com? I cannot locate a vin # on carfax.
Thanks |
