I haven?t bought a pre-owned car in years without first checking out the Carfax and several years ago it saved my wife and I from a really bad deal. We found a used Honda CR-V at a dealership that was priced right for our budget so we went out to drive it. It drove ok and we were in the process of talking ?numbers? with the dealership when we asked to see Carfax. And in reviewing it we discovered the car had FRAME DAMAGE that we had no knowledge of. In fact, the dealer tried to play stupid and say they did not know about the damage either but I don?t believe them for a minute. Thanks to Carfax? excellent service we were saved buying a wrecked car.
