When I began my search for a luxury convertible I knew that the only ones I would consider were going to be verified as accident free by Carfax. I searched for several months for the perfect deal ; during that time reading many a Carfax report. Carfax made it simple when I found the right deal. ALL the information was right there - previous number of owners, vehicle history, service records, mileage verifications, verification that no accidents had been reported - all in one place. On top of that the Carfax buy back guarantee! I didn't buy based just upon the Carfax. I still personally inspected the vehicle and had it checked by a competent mechanic prior to buying it, but the CARFAX report was an important tool in my decision making process. Today, I've driven just over 2500 happy miles and know that the CARFAX was right and made my decision process much easier. I would not buy a vehicle without a Carfax report.
