I had been looking for a used car for about two months. I decided to use CARFAX when I narrowed down my choices, and I am really glad that I did. A seller advertised his car as being a certain year with a clean title. I ran a CARFAX on the VIN, and the title ended up being "salvage" and the car was a different year than advertised. I found out that the airbags had deployed and everything. We had test driven the car and it looked nice, but we did not want to have to deal with a salvage title, and we did not know exactly what had happened to the car that the seller wasn't telling us. We ended up finding a car that fit us perfectly and had a clean title and CARFAX with no accidents. CARFAX helped me to make a better-informed decision about each car I was seriously considering, and in the end we made the perfect choice for us. Thank you!
