I'm a divorced mother of 2 who can't afford car payments. So when my beater car finally fell apart, I turned to a car-savvy friend to help me find a cheap used car. He immediately suggested I buy a Carfax subscription, so on his recommendation I did. Wow, was I ever glad I did! I was able to weed out lots of cars that looked good on the outside, but once run through Carfax, proved to be a bad choice for a woman living alone. After a weekend of searching, I found two cars that met my budget, had clean histories, and were in good mechanical shape. Couldn't have done that without Carfax! Now I have peace of mind, and the kids absolutely love the ride.
