I never purchased a used car sight unseen until recently. I had been searching for the perfect 2011 Mustang GT for quite a while using online car shopping sites and I always focused on the cars available within a 50 to 75 mile radius of my home. The CARFAX reports offered by the selling dealers was always the first thing I reviewed. Since I had no luck finding the car I wanted locally, I expanded my search and found my Mustang at a dealer hundreds of miles away. They did not offer a free CARFAX report so I purchased one. The clean CARFAX was one of the key items on my used car purchase checklist and without it, I would never have completed the long distance purchase process and had the Mustang shipped to my home.
