Salvage title reported on CG but not on CARFAX

Asked by GuruD4KMGT Feb 17, 2024 at 07:23 AM about the 2022 Ford F-150

Question type: General

Ford f150 vin 1FTFW1E85NFA31133 shows a clean
CarFax when checked on dealer website. But on CG
they list a warning for salvage title (based on Auto
Check). Truck looks great but has been on CG well
over 250 days. Can a salvage title be hidden on
CarFax but not on AutoCheck?

Yes, those vehicle history reports are only as good as the information they receive. If the insurance company only reported the salvage designation to AutoCheck but not Carfax it won't show up on the Carfax report. These reports are an excellent guide, but don't always show everything. There's no requirement to report to Carfax or any other reporting company. Check the title and, if you can, run the VIN through NCIB. It's a free search on their (NCIB) website. Hope that helps! Jim

I just ran the VIN you posted through NICB and nothing showed up. No theft or total loss records. Jim
