CarFax crap and passenger side airbag cover - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

My carfax report also showed one more owner than it actually had. I think it was a lienholder or lease problem. Owner number 2 "owned" it for a day or two.

anyone else seen this where the dash cover for passenger airbag is loose on the bottom? (you can see it from the picture)

This one is a little different guys. The first owner bought it in2001 and put 25,000 miles on it. The second owner leased it in 2004 and the title was held in Illinois. The last activity was in 2005 for an inspection in Jersey with 30K on the clock.

I forgot to mention in my previous post... my airbag cover looks exactly the same (lower left sticks out just a tiny bit). I'd be curious to hear if there is a fix for this, or if this is just how they all are.

I think that is normal... mine is like that too...

oil change and filter. That's why I don't put a lot of stock in Carfax

There is chance that the seller is the original and only owner and that he either transferred the title to or from a family member or leased the car to a personal business to use as an expense.

I'd put more focus on the PPI results and service records, than tracing the ownership back to square one.

I bet if you ask the seller he would let you know the reason for the questionable ownership records. If he blows you off or gives you reason to doubt his story, just pass on this one and find another that meets your expectations.
