In December 2017 I purchased a 2005 Camry with 69,700 miles for my son. So I thougt. After the purchase found an old oil change sticker in the glove box that said the car had 280,000 plus miles. Bought a Carfax and confirmed the miles was in the 280+ K range. I filed a police report against the person which is currently pending and that person is being charged with odometer fraud and some other charges.
A month later that same 2005 Camry was in a winter car accident and was totaled no injuries involved. I then purchased a Carfax each time I had a car that I was interested in possibly buying. Out of the four cars that I CarFaxed two had good normal histories, One had a reported total loss from the insurance company the seller failed to mention, and the one I bought had a perfect Carfax history with service records from the date of purchase with 55,000 actual miles confirmed by the Carfax services records reported.
So I learned my lesson the hard way by not doing a Carfax on the first car. Now it’s saved me from buying a total loss car and finding the perfect car with service history and documented miles.
Thank you Carfax,
Anthony
