So I bought my volt at a discount. I went to see it with the intent there was no credit attached to it.
However, the dealer said that it used for them because it had been used by GM but had never been titled. This surprised me because they sell it as part of there Certified Used Car Program. They gave me a car fax report and under title there is nothing. I called a friend who sells used cars and he said if there is not a previous title on the Car Fax report, it has not been titled.
So before I am asked, they said the previous Chevy dealer was using the car for whatever and put 4400 miles on the car. So it is certified used for them. But it hasn't been titled and that makes it used.
So ABC Dealership bought the car but never titled it - so says the car fax report. When I get my title back will that show me what I need to know?
EDIT - I found the National Motor Vehicle Title Information Website. There are a number of services to check the title history for a small fee. I tried several. They all came back that no information was available on the VIN # entered. One actually showed the VIN was associated with a 2018 Volt Premier but still said no information available.
Thoughts?
