EVO X car history

This has been really puzzling me....I have a 2014 EVO X purchased last summer in July. It has only 4k miles on it and I have not gone to the dealer to do any service except once where they washed and waxed the car for free. I was curious about my car history so I got on carfax and entered my VIN just for the hell of it. I didn't purchase any car reports from there but after entering my VIN, carfax saids there is 9 reports on my car. How can that be? I haven't been to the dealership ever since that carwash...Should I be worried at all? Is carfax even trustworthy with that report?

Well.....with 4k miles I'm guessing it's not new correct?

It is quite normal for a car that is sold as brand new to have several entries for it on a Carfax report. Some might be transfers from one dealer to another. A few might be recall work being done after it was brought over from Asia. One or two might relate to you buying and then registering the car.

You should not be worried.

Exactly what Iowa said, don't be worried if it's a new car

it's a scam to get you to pay for the report. Usually, those "records" are this:

-vehicle enters dealer inventory
-vehicle listed for sale
-vehicle reported as sold by dealer
-temporary tag issued by dealer
-DMV reports new ownership
-DMV reports lienholder status
-DMV issues temp tag for non-commercial
-DMV reports new plate issues


....and all of that means you bought a car and registered it.
