Being a student it was very hard for me to get around town and run errands. So i decided to look for car to buy. After looking for a really long time and being extremely difficult to know if i am making a right investing on a right vehicle, a decided to go with carfax after seeing it online and other advertisements. I decided to apply for a carfax purchase and started to check a few of the cars that i had liked a lot. Thanks to carfax, the car that i had the most interest in and was ready to buy was not a good choice. After running the VIN number i found out that the car had not been serviced in a a timely manner and worst of all it was involved in two major accidents which brought the value of the car very low. I like that carfax gave me a value amount below that of the original value. I decided to pass on that vehicle and insted found another car that was extremely well taken care of with all the records listed and it was a one owner vehicle. Thanks to carfax i own a very good vehicle and made a right choice in making such a high investment.
