I was going to buy a truck that was way under book value. I thought it was a steal for the price. The truck was in great condition. That was until I ran the car fax and determined it was in a flood and also in a serious accident.

Although I did not purchase as the result of my search I did enjoy the CARFAX experience very much and was amazed at the detail provided on both vehicles that I researched. Have and will recommend to friends. Thank you! Rick Mc

We used Carfax first to sell our used car, which sold in less than an hr, as we advertised that we'd supply the Carfax report to show the car's history. Now we're using it again to find our next vehicle: it saved us from purchasing a "lemon" w/ a dubious ownership history. The Carfax report showed a "time hole" in the ownership history-this explained why the owner listed the car (for the given year & low mileage) @ such a great price. When confronted with our questions the owner finally fessed up that it had been obtained at an auction, this was after much "stalling" on providing answers to our repeated requests for "more info".

I really liked a 2009 Ford F150 I was looking at. But, the mileage just seemed to low to be true. Thanks to CarFax, I was able to verify that everything the owner had told me was true about the truck and I ended up with a great low mileage vehicle. -Steve A.

Not every single thing -- good or bad -- that has happened to a car is listed in its CarFax. There may be some service work done and/or some problems that occurred, that are not listed. So I don't think CarFax saves you from needing to check-out a car in person and to have it looked at by a mechanic. But the info that *IS* listed in CarFax seems to be very reliable. Definitely an important tool in shopping before buying a car. Definitely recommended. And the monthly pass is only a few $ more than the individual, so I recommend the monthly pass.

Living in the northeast, one of the biggest concerns when buying a older used car is rust. Thanks to CarFax, I was able to verify that the car I found had come from a rust free part of the country. Yay!

I used Carfax for a 2003 Honda Pilot before making a decision to buy. I found through Carfax that the odometer reading was not correct and was reverenced. After finding that the odometer reading was not correct, I decided not to buy the Pilot. Thank you Carfax for your help.

Carfax included all the histories which can help you find a suitable car, But the only problem was after 5 carfax check with vin number, I just could check with license plat. Many individual sellers was unwilling to give their license plate and also dealers doesn't have license plate at all.

It's better to provide some information about the owners about the used cars!

I looked online for six months and at dealers trying to find a 2014 Toyota Corolla with low mileage. On October 9, 2014, I found a great deal in the Washington, D.C. area on CARFAX. I bought the car on October 10th. The car had only 4,400 miles and was still under the Toyota warranty. I saved a lot of money!

I was trying to sell my car online but didn't get much action. A neighbor suggested to put a Carfax report along with the advertisement. I did and the just like that. The car was sold the next day.

I was looking to buy a Honda Odyssey, and my brother suggested me to check them out in CARFAX, we saw 2 or 3 from private seller, and the "one" we were going to buy, with cash in hand, had the mileage altered. Thanks to CARFAX I didn't bought that broken car, it has more than 100,000 miles erased. I'm glad for this service!
