Tim McCreary

I need a carfax on a 1988 Honda Prelude S. The car is showing 82K but has some serious rot on the rocker panels. The VIN is JHMBA4227JC036097

I am thinking of making it a beater car, but if the VIN is clean, it may be worth fixing up.

Thanks in advance

Hey Tim,

I have a Carfax account through the 28th if memory serves me. Use goodfellafd3s@cs.com as your email address.

Check as many VINS as you want to; go to town

Tim McCreary

They want confirmation information. Could you run it for me?

Thanks
