The CarFax report I received allowed me to make a more informed decision on the car I was interested in and helped to put my mind at ease in the sense that I had done as much research / due diligence prior to buying that a person could do. When buying a used car, research is the key and after that, hopefully you have a great experience with your purchase...and so far, I have.

I found a 2014 Toyota Avalon hybrid at CarMax in Florida with 5000 miles on it. I paid the 39 dollars to check out the car and I found it had never been registered or never been in an accident. The dealer in Miami used it for his personal use ( wife ect.) I bought it and because it had never been registered, Bank of America gave me a super great rate on a car loan. Thank you car fax!

The carfax verified that the car was as good as the previous owner said it was.

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.

Carfax assisted me in my recent purchase of a 2012 BMW X5 Diesel. I was concerned about the prior owner's maintenance and the car's warranty repair history. Carfax provided information on these records and allowed me to make a informed decision on my purchase.

It let me know how many people had the car and the up keep on the car. And the price was also a great help since I was buying for a person I did not know.

Buying a few reports has been great while scouting multiple vehicles. The pricing isn't bad when you buy a few at a time, and really gives you extra peace of mind when looking for the perfect next vehicle!

Carfax certainly assisted me in my decision making process and did alert me to several undesirable units. I would have no hesitation about using them again.

I was ready to pull the trigger on a 2007 ford super duty diesel. Milage showing was 117000. Carfax showed it had 390000. Dodged the bullet there. Thanks carfax

While looking at a 2002 Subaru in Oregon, we asked the used car dealer if he had the CarFax information on the car. He had some kind of alternate car reporting document that he showed us that said the car had been properly serviced and that it had no problems. The CarFax report (along with a mechanic we hired to inspect the car) both verified that the car had spent most of its life as a fleet vehicle in the North East part of the United States and had limited service during its life. Parts of the car were so corroded and in bad shape, something we would never have learned if we had not gone the extra mile and checked the car out thoroughly. We dodged a bullet thanks to CarFax.

I purchased my vehicle first, and then noticed some over spray which indicated a possible accident. I then immediately purchased a car fax and discovered it was in fact in an accident, however there was only cosmetic damage and nothing structural. I will continue to utilize car fax going forward PRIOR to purchasing my next vehicle.

I had a choice of two cars on Craigslist, both 97 Corollas. One was recently posted, the other was already on Craiglist for a month. The cheaper one (ironically) showed a record of maintenance for the entire life of the car on the Carfax report. The other one (more expensive but in better condition body-wise and lower mileage) showed no maintenance at all. None. I went with the cheaper one despite the body appearance and higher miles. The other car is still for sale after over six weeks on Craigslist. Even more expensive Corollas are selling but not that one. It must have some other issues. Thanks Carfax for the decision assist.

I love having my Carfax! Prior to having it, I bought two vehicles from trusted people that had underlying issues. It wasn't until I had to pay out lots that I finally got Carfax and decided started shopping again. I went through about five cars, finding ones I really liked only to have them show a bad history. Finally bought a Toyota and had no problems since. This is probably one of the best services I've ever purchased!

when I asked for information about the car that I liked, I wrote first and foremost in the Carfax. I put this assessment in the recall because the information provided to me was complete except for the issue that I interest most. I hope to win Carfoks for their young daughters. Den

Excellent system. Only lack is that there's no way for unlimited VIN checks anymore, something that competitors offer. Helped me make a decision between all the cars that i was looking at.

I am very thankful for Carfax. I was getting ready to by a used car when I decided to check Carfax just in case. Sure enough, there was a problem with it that caused me to not by it. By using Carfax, I was able to see it's history and it just so happened that this car was a lease by SEVEN different companies AND while it was leased from the first company, it was 7 miles from the Louisiana coast DURING HURRICANE KATRINA! It was considered a natural disaster vehicle. I am so glad I didn't buy it! I ended up finding a better car that Carfax had a good report for!
