I was looking to buy a car for my son for college and we found a nice clean looking older Dodge avenger that was advertised as a clean title. When we ran the Carfax we found that it had actually been in three accidents. Then we found a nice looking Scion and again advertised as a clean title. We ran the Carfax and found that it had been in three accidents and had formally been totaled but we found out that the state doesnt list a salvage title on cars after they are eight years old. Then we found the car we bought :) a Ford FX5 with a truely clean title, low miles and a great service history. I would never buy a used car again without Carfax. Thanks CARFAX
