It was a long drive down-state to look at the car I found online. Once I got there, it was clear that the car had some body repair. A test ride proved the car was in good running condition; however, I was still concerned about what it had gone through to have had parts replaced and/or repainted. That's when I asked the seller for a few minutes alone so I could get a CARFAX report, and I found out more than I had expected! It turned out that the odometer reflected 50,000 less miles than the last oil change service report, which was 5 months prior! That gave me a great negotiating advantage. I was able buy the car for 20% less than the asking price. Thank you, CARFAX!
