Default Carfax anyone?

Help, had a dealer look at my daughters car for trade in value and they tell me it's a salvage title, I have the title in front of me now and it doesn't say that anywhere on it. does anybody here have an account with carfax that would be so kind to run a check on it for me and see what it says? The VIN is 1FAHP35N58W261093 and it's a 2008 Focus.

TIA Dennis

The report shows it as Exceeded mechanical limits on the odometer. Meaning the Miles on the car are unknown. Also has an accident on Dec of 2017 with a Guardrail.

what state is the car titled in? Some states brand the title if there are any issues with the car.

First off, thanks Car is in NH and yeah, my kid hit a guardrail last winter in an ice storm. She wasn't going very fast and just lost traction. No injuries, just scared the shit out of her! I thought we were the second owners, how many does it show? And yes, I see that it says mechanical limits exceeded, I never noticed that, but it certainly doesn't say salvage anywhere! Does the mechanical limits exceeded statement mean salvage to a dealer or something? I have no idea why he would have said it if it doesn't say salvage anywhere

This car has been pretty good to me. Just normal maintenance, brakes and tires, shit like that. And yeah, I do most of my own work

Those wonderful legislators here in PA decided that all vehicles on a dealer's lot must have the titles transferred in the dealer's name within 10 days.

Right there adds an additional owner to the count.
