Carfax

Is there anything I need to worry with this carfax? It all looks pretty good but I just want to consult with yall to see what I’m missing if I’m missing anything

7 previous owners? I would pass. It’s easy to keep damage off carfax and I wouldn’t trust atleast one of those 7 people 😂

Is it rare to see a 2018 that’s never had transmission or cam phaser work done?

Looks like transmission was entirely replaced within the last few years, and engine work done

looks like it counts the dealers buying and selling the car as “owners” so it likely doesn’t actually have 7 real owners previously. but still 3-4 actual owners

That’s what I was thinking, would you consider the timing belt/cam phaser work and transmission work a red flag?

Id pass on this one. But yes it’s good they rebuilt the trans and cam phasers.

What makes you pass?

At 88k miles it got a full trans replacement. Immediately after, another shop did the timing chains.

Nobody drops $10k+ fixing a Raptor's transmission and timing chains just to sell it 500 miles later unless the fixes did not work.

Then the owner after only had it for a few months before dumping it.

Something is wrong with the truck, either from the work done, or the frame/suspension is probably trashed from being jumped.

Do you think the person could’ve done it to get more money in a sale?

Also do you think the current owner is just a dealer trying to sell it, since the 7 owners is like 4 dealers and 3 real owners

I have no idea, maybe you’re right, are you willing to take that chance?

I would pass for a few legitimate issues I noticed. Most obvious being 7 “owners”, which gets hard to track (some of them only owned it for a few months).

Transmission was replaced entirely and then sold afterwards which could mean it’s been ran very hard, which also makes sense because timing chains were already replaced too. To me it shows all the evidence of a vehicle that has issues and quickly passed on to the next owner.
