“I needed to know if the vehicle had any crash, recall or insurance incidents. It basically had a "clean" record, although it appears to have sat in a barn for nearly a decade.”

“Looking for cars was a major drama. Finding a car that looked good and then seeing the CARFAX that convinced me to keep looking. Finally I found a car I liked and the CARFAX confirmed it was a a great buy! Thank you CARFAX!”

“Carfax doesn't play nice! They say they have proof of facts that are not true but refuse to provide sources quoting confidentiality. If the sources are coming from mechanic shops, etc., how is that confidential? We are the only owner and know the history but Carfax ignores this stating "proof" of otherwise yet won't provide it? What kind of game are they playing? I used to trust & value Carfax, now I know the company cannot be trusted! They can just BS their way through stuff & not care who it hurts. I now tell everyone I know DON'T TRUST CARFAX: THEY LIE!”

“I’ve been fixated on buying a Toyota Tundra. Like anybody else, I was worried about getting into a headache with a used vehicle. Thanks to Carfax, I was able to easily see the history of the vehicles. When I asked for the Carfax, some dealerships had the odacity to provide other third party car history reports that did not have the incidents or accidents reported by Carfax. I’ve used Carfax many times before for other vehicles, and I will continue being a repeat customer. I finally found a clean used Tundra with the one original owner. Thanks Carfax! I’m a proud owner of the truck I’ve always wanted.”

“I use them for peace of mind The auto I was purchasing seemed almost too good to be true. But after extensive search and finally the Carfax report, I purchased the car and made a better deal than any local dealer could have made me. Thank you Carfax”

“I looked at several cars on the internet but it was Carfax that gave me the maintenance history that made my decision easy. Seeing several years uninterrupted gave me confidence.”

“I love CARFAX when auto shopping. It allows me to see where the auto comes from so I know weather it comes from a state where they use salt on there roads or a state where flooding was experienced. We Bought a one owner 2008 Lexus RX350 and couldn't be happier. Thanks CARFAX”

“I used carfax prior to purchasing a used car. The seller advertised the miles to be much less than what Carfax showed they actually were. Needless to say I did not buy that vehicle.”

“I recently spoke with a Gentleman about a 1990 Centurion C-350 4x4. I spoke with him back and forth, a few different times. Each conversation fairly lengthy, & in great detail about this particular truck. It was completely “too good to be true”. These trucks are few, and far between. They’re rare, to say the least. I found one via Craigslist. One that wasn’t completely trashed. Low mileage, & all original. Using CARFAX in the past, on every vehicle I purchase(or thought to purchase)since 2005. “Old Hat” for me, I began my research via the CARFAX online. I searched the VIN, &...du-du-duuuuu! She’s been in a collision, she’s had several repairs since the assembly line. She’s something resembling a “Lemon”. She’s been repainted. She’s also showing over 300,000 miles, with multiple discrepancies. She’s not what the Gentleman describes at all. Thinking perhaps CARFAX got it wrong. I found myself giving the Gentleman the benefit of doubt. I personally inspected this truck, & Bingo! CARFAX was spot on, this truck was definitely a hard pass. Silver lining, a few weeks later I found another, confirmed the validity via CARFAX. Everything checked out, she also passed my personal inspection perfectly. These experiences have solidified my trust in CARFAX 100%. A BIG THANK YOU to all of the people who make CARFAX what it is.”

“I was searching for a very specific model of an older diesel pickup. I found one with exceptionally low miles, and an exceptionally high price to go with it. I felt the miles justified the price, and I was going to go look at it. I asked the seller for the VIN to run CARFAX. He sent it to me, but in the same message he said that he had "just found out that the odometer must have been changed" and the truck actually had about triple the advertised miles. I scratched that one off my list, and found another. The CARFAX on that one confirmed everything the seller told me, and I bought it. I'm very pleased with it, so THANK YOU CARFAX for your very reputation saving me from an expensive mistake! John Byers Spring Run, PA”

“I still having a hard time getting Audi A6 model. I was trying to get the price within my price that I can afford it. Other days I went to a local mid-size independent dealership and trying to bring down the amount where I want it as $10,000 flat and out the door price. That what I want. They are keeping add-on and make excuses. I decided to call off the deal it not work out on my side. So I walk away empty Audi A6. I have currently 2004 Audi A4. I am still keeping it. I just want at least 2010 and newer. I wish to see free carfax of they list of a vehicle. I instead have light color inside and outside on car. Moreover, power seats, leather seats as well.”

“Carfax report on my own car was riddled with errors - 8 in total - including things that simple data controls would flag up like a report of the car being service before it was made. This reduced the trade-in value from $34,000 to nothing, and I missed the deal I was shopping for. It took me hours and hours to collect all the documentation that was supposed to be in the carfax. Please quote: I have no faith in the CarFax system”
