anyone here recognize this car???

I'm looking to buy a 2013 Countryman JCW outta Texas
it originally came from Massachusetts

something on the carfax about a Biohazard was reported
no damage was reported so I'm assuming something else
worst case, someone died in the car...

dealer says the Biohazard might be from an aftermarket exhaust lol
i'm not buying that
if anyone recognizes the car and has any info, please let me know

Yeah, death in the car is possible, which is ok if you are ok with it.

As long as it's not water/flood, because that would be bad, though you would think damages.

I’m not sure I’m OK with it lol

funny thing is the car had 2 owners
first owner had it and put around 27,000 miles on it
carfax shows the biohazard damage at that point

next owner only keeps the car around 1000 miles

now it’s up for sale again...
I’m wondering if the biohazard has anything to do with the second owners short time with the car.

Had a friend who spilled a gallon of milk in his back seat. Any time the car got hot or sat in the sun you couldn't get near it for the smell.

Could be something that simple.

yeah but how would that get on a car fax report as a biohazard?
it was reported at the end of the 1st owners time with the car, so I’m only assuming it was reported by the insurance company?
don’t know if a smell gets reported as a biohazard.

Ozone generators are real handy when you need one.

I'm looking specifically into the history of this one particular car thats for sale. The biohazard was reported at the end of the first ownership.
The second owner only kept the car for 1000 miles. maybe its an odor??? Maybe the car is haunted...
who knows but i'm trying to see if anyone recognizes the car.

I would gut the interior myself and clean it if I had to.
no flood or collision was reported so I'm assuming dead body.
