We were looking to replace my wifes 1993 volvo 940 wagon ( which my 18 year old daughter now drives) and found a 2008 subaru outback for sale by owner. The car was immaculate and the carfax showed 1owner and 1accident. We talked extensively to the owner and found out the mishap occurred right after they purchased it. We had a chance to talk to the repair shop and found out they were very reputable and did quality work. We ended up making an offer on the car below blue book value and now drive that great car. We have used carfax twice since then and have found the information obtained to be very valuable in making used car purchase decisions. Great product with great useful information. I would highly recommend carfax to anyone purchasing a used vehicle. Dan from Detroit.
