I have recently decided to move to Roatan, Honduras. A beautiful island in the West Caribbean. When I arrived on the island I started looking to buy a second hand SUV or pick up car. I did not have my expectations very high because importing a car in Honduras in addition to the high freight costs also entails paying 46% import duties. Therefore, I believed that my budget of $10,000 would severely limit the choice of cars. To my amazement there were a number of 2005 and up cars available. All within my budget. I went to see quite a few of these cars and all looked in a very good condition for their age. I was about to put a deposit on a 2004 Toyota 4Runner SR5. That same day, just before going to the dealer, I decided to run the VIN of the car through CarFax. Although, I was in Honduras I thought that it was worth it giving it a shot. To my surprise CARFAX report indicated that the car was in a severe accident and a US JUNK Title had been issued. Obviously, it was bought by the Honduran dealer, repaired and it was sold as a "normal" used car. Obviously I walked away from this "deal". In the same way I checked quite a number of cars and all had the same kind of "flaw". A US JUNK Title!!! Finally, I found a car that was for sale by an expat going back to the US. He imported the car from the USA when he first arrived in Honduras. So CARFAX saved me from buying a real "lemon" even if a was a couple of thousands miles outside the US. Thank you CARFAX.
