“my car fax report prevented me from buying a lemon. and also made us feel much better about the van we did decide to purchase. On our very tight budget we could not afford to make a mistake.”

“Car fax has been instrumental in my car search always. I was looking for a good used car and it helped me a lot in finding my VW Jetta. The reports are genuine and accurate. This is one of the best companies you can trust for Car history. Love the way it shows the history with dates and by owners. Also, like the feature of buy back guarantee a lot. It shows you everything related to the car including title information, warantee validity and accidental histories along with the incremental odometer readings with that you can actually check that the reading is actual and modified. Awesome job !!”

“Thanks Carfax : I was looking to buy a 2002 mustang GT from a guy off the internet, after running a carfax I found that the guy selling it owed money on it, but was listed as having a clean title. and also I caught him several more lies. If it wasn't for carfax I probably would bought the car. Tim”

“Careat Emptor or Buyer Beware. No where is this more true than when buying a used car. Many used car dealers advertise posing as private sellers. Car Fax exposed them. Many lie about condition and many lie about mileage. Car Fax exposes the mileage and will report any history of damage. Car Fax is an invaluable tool in separating the facts about the vehicle from the fantasies of some sellers. It is a huge red flag when people will not share the VIN. !00% of the time, the seller is then trying to hide something. Protect your money when buying any used car. Use CAR FAX! Ask questions of the seller and then check their response against the facts as reported by car fax. Any lies is a deal buster. Request photos of the instrument cluster with the engine running to check for idiot lights.”

“I love it, always wondered about my car after I bought it. CARFAX put my mind at ease. Simple and easy to understand, I feel so much better. Next time I will make sure to ask before I buy.”

“I've been looking for a car for awhile, and I've found a couple cars with odometers rolled back, and even one that was reported stolen! I'm glad I had the carfax reports to double check the car's history. Dennis T”

“I narrowed down my search to 4-5 used cars, with similar features and mileage. I obtained carfax reports for all of them, which by the way, it really makes sense to purchase up to 5 reports instead of one. As it turns out, the car that was our top pick, seemed like a really good deal until I read the car fax report. After reading the report there was no way were were going to buy the car. Thank you! As it turned out, our third choice of cars actually had the best history and the Carfax report provided the tipping point for our purchase.”

“I use CARFAX on every car, I purchased three cars in the last two months for our granddaughters, usually the dealers web site I can check the CARFAX. I do not do the autocheck or what ever its called. Yesterday I called a dealer about 50 miles away about thee last vehicle I did purchase but when I asked about the CARFAX he did not want to do it so I said no sale, at that point he did do a CARFAX. When I went to do the paper work he added 39.00 dollars to the bill, which I said I can do the same online, do you want the deal or not they took it off. Thanks for the great details and peace of mind with CARFAX”

“I was very interested in a maroon 2010 Honda Insight being sold by a small used car dealer outside of Murfreesboro TN. The price was good, but there was no warranty left at over 4 yrs and 60,000+ miles except on the hybrid battery. I asked him if he knew of any accidents the car had been in. He said he didn't know of any. I asked because I felt like the hood release looked damaged although everything else looked fine. I then asked for the CARFAX. The dealer told me that he didn't have one because CARFAX charges dealers thousands of dollars to be able to get car faxes. That didn't make sense to me. I bought my own car fax on the car. It turned out the car had been in two accidents with one involving setting off airbags. So CARFAX saved me.”

“I was looking for a newer truck, but had limited funds, I researched and looked at many vehicles by owner and at used car/truck lots, and big dealerships. After finding what I could afford , I asked if they had a carfax, they did , the vehicle was one owner, leased, no problems, no accidents reported, and had maintenance records reported, guess cause it was a lease, had all this confirmed, very impressive carfax... Thanx Robert”

“We were looking to purchase a used truck. We brought the truck to our mechanic it looked clean, our mechanic suggested we run a car fax. The truck had 2x the amount of mileage on it than the owner told us instead of 90,000 miles it had 180,000 miles. So glad we checked the car fax.”

“I searched for a Subaru Baja for my daughter. Finding a few, a couple of dealers and a private seller, we went to go look at them. Asking the usual questions; any accidents, service records, smoker or non, etc., one dealer in Boise, ID kept stating "not to my knowledge". Thanks to "carfax" we discovered that the car had, infact, been in an accident and other issues. Don't trust anyone, trust your "CARFAX".”

“I was looking at a 2007 Ford Edge that the price sounded very low I first looked up the book value then ran a CarFax on it. The CarFax showed it was involved in two minor accident and the value was book price plus $470.00. I bought the car because it was priced below book and CarFax said it was worth just over book price.”

“CARFAX really helped me in purchasing a new car. That's right! I used it to check the history of a new car....not a used one. The reason....the dealer had to get the car I wanted from another dealer. When it arrived, it had slightly over 1,000 miles on it! A car that was being sold as new actually had 1,000 miles! By checking the CARFAX report, I could see that the car was inspected and made ready for sale 11 months earlier. It was used by the dealer as either a demo or for one of the employees to drive. By having this information in hand, I was able to negotiate a better price, and get a break on an extended warranty since the normal 3 years, 36,000 mile new car warranty had already been partially used due to the 1,000 miles and putting it into service 11 months prior to selling it to me. Thank you CARFAX!!! I know this is an unusual circumstance, but it gave me the information I needed and assured me it had not been titled to anyone else, and it helped me get a better price because I went to the dealer armed with the history of this car.”
