I went to see a Honda Civic and after driving it and all i was about buy the vehicle. But to make sure about the car i checked it on CARFAX. I found out that the car was actually declared as a total loss car after a collision. CARFAX saved my day.

We are a hospital looking for a wheelchair van. Before we went to look at a van I ran a carfax, wow the mileage the speedometer showed was not right. Way to go carfax you saved me from buying a van with over 200000 miles. Raylene Hammonds JCF Hospital

Carfax is a must nowadays. Ive run probably over 100 carfax reports on cars Ive been considering purchasing in the past 5 years or so. Many, many times it has saved me from buying a car that could have had serious issues or at the least would be hard to resell down the road. Its helped me in determining if sellers are truthful just in simply comparing things like length of ownership, amount of owners, whether they had it maintained at a certain dealership or not etc. But it has also saved me from buying several different vehicles with modified odometers. People dont realize how easy it is to change the mileage of cars these days. They seem to think if it has a digital odometer it cant be altered which just isn't true. I've personally passed on buying lots of cars because I was able to determine the mileage on the cars odometer wasnt the actual mileage, based on recent oil changes and mileages reported by carfax. In one instance I was looking at buying a vehicle that had 96,000 miles on it, I ran a carfax report and found out it was sold years earlier at a dealership with 170,000 miles on it. Thanks Carfax

CARFAX really helped me out in finding a car for my son. After doing a vehicle history report we were able to negotiatiate almost half off the orinal asking price when we found out that the car was a "Salvage" vehicle. The car was a great buy and I saved a lot of money. Thank you CARFAX.

I've used CarFax for all my past three used vehicles and have found it great to know that I have some extra sense of security in my investment. I've even had one report that had caught a mileage inconsistency, which allowed me to dig further and obtain the proper documentation from the previous owner (which ended up correcting the issue). Glad that a reputable service like CarFax exists!

Looked for a used vehicle on the carfax site and found one with a good carfax report at a local dealership. Very pleased to have driven home my new to me car a couple of days ago. Thank you , carfax. I think the car fox would look awesome riding in my car with me.

Our current vehicle was priced fairly low, so we were nervous about buying it. After looking up the history on carfax we found it had a clean title and good maintenance records. It's been awesome having a car that works well for us and has a clean history.

beware, carfax doesn't always show the accident history and you can find those on auto check report, not the best, and also super expansive, what a great way to make money, good thing that they have refund policy, so if you don't like the report, I strongly suggest you to get your money back

I bought a 1996 Toyota Camry from the estate of a family friend. It had a rebuilt/salvage title, which surprised me. Vehicle was involved in minor accident in 2010 and fell victim to the 75% rule--if cost to repair exceeds 75% of book value, car must get a rebuilt/salvage title. At time, car was worth $2400 and had damage a little over $1800, which is relatively minor. Car Fax report showed that damage was minor, no airbag deployment, and major maintenance performed by selling dealer, such as timing belt replacement, etc. Car Fax took worry out of purchase.

Someone said that the car I was looking at was involved in an accident. I pulled the CAR Fax report and there was no accidents on it and as a matter of fact it had all of the cars maintenance on it and showed that the car had been well maintained. I purchased the car and am glad that I did. Well worth the money for the Car Fax report for the peace of mind that it gave me with my purchase. I would recommend that anyone getting ready to purchase a used car that they sign up and get the car fax on it first.

I once wanted to buy a used car: 2011 Nissan versa. it seems good, however, when I checked its VIN by Carfax, it was collised on the back. So luckily that I check carfax before I buy this car. Johnson
