My fianc? bought a car from a dealership in town. We were told it was brand new-a dealer demo. After all paperwork has been signed, a title came in the mail a week later instead of a MSO. We went straight up to the dealer and they never would run a CARFAX for us. After telling us they'd get us a new car, which is what we thought was purchased originally, we went home and ran a CARFAX on both vehicles. After being dooped the first time, we wanted to make sure the second car was new. The second car had never been registered according to CARFAX. Now we will always run a CARFAX when buying a vehicle, even if it is supposed to be new!
