I was looking for either a Honda Ridgeline or a Chevrolet Avalanche and found both being sold by private parties at much lower prices than at the dealers. I ran CARFAX on both and found that the Honda had been totaled and had a salvage title. As a result I did not buy it. The Avalanche had also been totaled but had a clean title. After careful examination of damage repairs and the result of being an Illinois vehicle I was able to negotiate a fair price and bought the Avalanche. The CARFAX report gave sufficient information to make a wise buying decision.
