“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.”

“Limiting the number of VIN lookups is extremely poor business. It is not explicitly stated anywhere before purchasing the subscription (that I could find) and it is the most common number people selling cars are listing.”

“I used CarFax to check the background on my 1996 Chevrolet Impala SS. The report showed that the car had been totalled when it was about 1 year old, then rebuilt and retitled. Other than that it had a good service record, so I had my mechanic inspect it prior to purchase. I was able to negotiate a very fair price and I love my car!”

“I ordered one Carfax report for the specific car I was interested in, and they instead gave me the unlimited package, overcharging me $15. They did not respond to requests to refund the difference.”

“I had been searching for an Infiniti G35, and after going to a couple dealers and hearing the phrase "clean car", I became skeptical. I found out that 2 of the 3 I looked at were in accidents and the 3rd someone had skipped the regular oil changes, and never took it in for a recall that was out for the car. Suffice to say they tried to sell me some beat up cars for top dollar. Eventually I found a local owner, and when I pulled the carfax, I saw he had it serviced at the same dealer the entire life of the car, and all recalls had been taken care of, as well as no accidents. I can't recommend carfax enough, the reports really bring light to a shady market.”

“I was looking at a 2010 Infinity G35 sedan that looked great...however, the odometer reading reported by a dealer during service was higher than the odometer in the car! Thank you Carfax! I later found my wife a beautiful 2011 Maxima with a sparkling Carfax that we are very pleased with! Cudos Vince B.”

“My beloved 2001 Toyota 4Runner had been around the block, and I needed to know where. The Carfax told me, and explained the windshield, showed me much of its maintenance history, and the ONLY thing I would do differently is ... I had a one-time chance to purchase a SECOND Carfax at the same time for only ten bucks, passed without thinking, and totally spaced how useful it would have been for selling my Hyundai Elantra, as I'm the second owner and the first was an old couple. Great idea, like an aircraft log.”

“Carfax has helped me in many ways. My father and I have been looking for a classic 1986 pickup truck, but in good driving conditions. Without Carfax we wouldn't of been able to locate a great one. We were able to use the car vehicle history reports to determine which truck we should buy. After many days trying to find one. We finally acquired the truck we've been looking for. Thanks Carfax.”

“Was going to buy a new motorcycle and decided to do a background check useing a car fax on the vehicle. seeing how at the time its was $40 for 1 report and $50 for 5, I went for the 5 as it was a better deal. When I got the car fax, it was so incomplete that it didn't even have the current owner on it. He had the title and everything and the report only had a record of the bike being sold once, when it was clear to me that there would have to have been 3 owners before me. I didn't see anything wrong with the bike and the car fax was clean, so I bought it and no problem at the DMV. After that I started pulling reports for fun and then AFTER PULLING 4 REPORTS OUT OF THE 5 I PAYED FOR, OT SAID NO MORE REPORTS REMAINING. DO NOT USE FOR MOTORCYCLES!!!!!!”

“I drove a 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe that looked good, drove well, and had a great price. Carfax revealed it was a "manufacturer buyback" because it was a lemon. I ended up buying the same make and model that was a 1-owner vehicle with a good service history. Thank you Carfax! E. Delarosa Houston, TX”

“I needed to find a car in Texas for my little sister without having to travel from my home in NC. I successfully used carfax reports to verify if sellers were being honest about the condition of their vehicles. After selecting four to five vehicles my sister test drove the cars and asked questions based on the carfax detail report. We were able to finalize a decision on a 1994, Honda CRV which had only one owner and a little over 150,000 miles. In summary I didn't have to spend time and hundred of dollars to fly and travel in search of a car. The End!”
