CARFAX Report gave me the needed peace of mind to travel from Chicago to Arizona to purchase my new truck
After my Lincoln Mark LT encountered black ice on the expressway in Northwest Indiana and introduced itself to the safety wall, I was in the market for a vehicle. I had previously owned a Ford Excursion and was very happy with it. Many times my family will go out to dinner in a group of seven and we would have to take two vehicles. So I made the decision to purchase a 2005 Ford Excursion. My prior Excursion had the V-10 gas engine and this time I wanted the Power Stroke Diesel. I started my search locally and there were several to choose from, but one stood out. A dealer had one that the CARFAX Report showed had started its life in Arizona. It was cleaner than the others for sale and had no rust on the trailer hitch. All of the other Excursions had rust on their trailer hitches from the road salt used in our area. Unfortunately the Arizona Excursion for sale in Chicago sold but I had an idea. Why not purchase an Excursion in Arizona.
My search began on Craigslist and I found the perfect Excursion. It was a 2005 Eddie Bauer with the Power Stroke Diesel and only 75000 miles on the odometer. It also had a transferable warranty and the owner provided me with a documented service history. Everything looked and sounded great but I did have some concerns about traveling that far to purchase a vehicle. My next step was to order a CARFAX Report for this vehicle and it was all the confirmation that I needed. The service records and the CARFAX Report matched perfectly and the CARFAX Report was clean showing no accidents. The CARFAX BUYBACK GUARANTEE also made me feel good about this purchase. Everything went great with the current owner picking my son and I up at the airport and us dropping him off at his home and starting our journey back to Chicago. I will save the story about the blizzard we ran into near Flagstaff for another day.
