“Car Fax is one of the most powerful tools you can have when buying a used car. Using mobile access, I saved myself from buying 3 cars worth much less than being asked for. I would've never found my 1 owner mustang and known it if it weren't for Car Fax! Love it!”

“I'm from New Mexico, I traveled to Colorado to purchase a car and it turned out not to be what I wanted.. So I had a friend take me on a car search... I came across lots of nice looking cars, but I carfaxed them to find out the history and wow just about every car had issues, 8 cars til I found one, and they all posted they had clean titles.. Be aware of the scams check the history and save yourself future car drama.. Thanks carfax..”

“Carfax helped me determine whether I would buy the truck that I own today. It gave me utmost confidence when making my purchase and relieved me the stress of buying an unknown truck.”

“I was looking for a pickup truck. I looked at one that was advertised low miles, carfax showed a 100k mile discrepancy, the second one was almost identical issue. Finally, I decide to travel outside the area I was searching and found a great deal, using carfax confirmed it was what was advertised! Thank you Carfax!”

“I received a price from a dealer for a car that was so low I would have thought the dealer was trying to sell a reclaimed vehicle. Advertised as new, I bought the Carfax to find out that indeed, I was getting a brand spanking new car at an unbelievable price!”

“Because I am in charge of our Corporate vehicle fleet and frequently purchase cars, I use Carfax to determine whether or not the cars that I locate for our employees will provide a safe, reliable and comfortable ride. Using Carfax is an extra layer of security for all of our fleet purchases..”

“I was going to purchase a Audi A5 from a Private Party. I was going to travel 10 hours to go to look at and purchase the car. I bought CARFAX prior to my trip and it stated the car had 75K miles when the current owner bought the car 1 year ago. The seller was claiming the car currently had 73K miles. When confronted with this information the seller had no response and has not contacted me since. Super Glad I got CARFAX.”

“I found a 10 year old vehicle which I knew I would love as I had one like it previously. The Carfax confirmed that it had been treated as royalty by the previous owner and allowed me to purchase an extended 100,000 mile warranty even though I had no actual maintenance records. Thanks, Carfax! I love my car again! DWH”

“Was looking for a good, used truck from a manufacturer with a good reputation. I had ruled out Chevy, Ford and Dodge having owned one or another at some point in my life and, quite frankly, I was done dealing with the poor workmanship and quality control. So I decided to go Nissan or Toyota. Don't be misled, though! I did look at Chevy, Ford and Dodge because I wanted a good deal! I also wanted a truck with a healthy history! I used CARFAX and it was very instrumental in my decision making! It supplied me with pertinent information about the vehicles I looked at including if there were any recalls or accidents that might compromise the character of the vehicle. It's been two months, now, and I'm very happy with my Toyota Tundra. Thanks for your assistance, CARFAX!”

“I am a foreigner. When I began to buy a car, I had no idea whether this car had got accident before. My friend recommended me Carfax to check car history. I was so excited when I used Carfax, with it, I was so confident to choose a good car, and I did. With the help of Carfax, I finally purchased a 2009 Mercury Milan without any accident and that car really runs great! Thanks, Carfax!”

“I just bought a low-mileage, older car from my sister-in-law's mother. Doing business with family is always tricky. I wanted to check out the car without being too overt about it, to keep family peace. Spending the money to get the CARFAX report on the vehicle yielded two benefits: 1) It put my mind at ease by showing a very conscientious maintenance record. 2) It showed the value of the asking price vs. the street price for like make/model cars. The car turned out to be quite a bargain, as was the CARFAX report.”

“Carfax is useless, i know they can't know everything but there are hundreds of thousands or cars sold every week at auctions that have been in very severe accidents w/ clean titles but yet when you car fax the vin a lot of the vehicles show no wear or tear. This is a problem for the costumer who is trying to protect themselves and very innocently buy a expensive, i should say, report that those not show the important events and details of a lot of the cars that have been totaled. I am working to gather a group of people to take a class action law suit and stand up to this unjust company charging costumers too much for unimportant information as well as open complaints with the Better Business Bureau to get to the bottom of this.”

“I would not suggest buying a used car without this service. There was a used car on a dealership lot that had extremely low miles and the price seemed to good to be true. The Carfax displayed the engine small block being replaced at only 7000 miles with other problems being repaired as well. Thanks CarFax for saving me from a lemon.”

“I was in the market for a used car sold by a private owner. Car Fax made it easier to make a decision to purchase knowing the history. We probably would have not made the purchase without Car Fax.”

“I used Carfax to help buying my first three used cars and that was very helpful. Then on the fourth car, Acura MDX, I bought another auto report (don't want to mention their name here). It shows a no-accident history, so I went to checkout the car and bought the MDX. Later it turns out that Carfax showed the MDX was claimed total loss due to vandinisim, but that auto report I bought showed nothing about the total loss. What a surprise! Now I only use carfax for its accurate and inclusive information.”
