My old truck finally died, after years of hanging on by a thread, and that meant I had to buy another one. Not being able to afford a ?new? pickup, I hit the used market. Let?s be honest ? I am NOT a mechanic. I?m not even mechanical at all. And so the thought of buying a new pickup without some kind of ?insider? information was something that scared me to death. I bought the five-report package for Carfax and began searching through the process, ruling out two potential trucks based on information in those reports. While I was narrowing down my search for a pickup, my 17-year-old son decided it was time for him to but his first vehicle, so we began running Carfax reports on some that caught his eye. I never like to spend money, but thanks to Carfax I now own a 2006 Ford F150 with less than 75,000 miles that is a terrific vehicle, and my son now owns a 2008 Subaru Outback that he purchased for $7,000 less than the retail value. Carfax, you made life better for us all the way around.
