We were in need of a very good used automobile. Due to our age, and lack of income, we needed to find an affordable, comfortable, and extremely reliable automobile. After not purchasing an automobile for some time, we had no idea this was such a huge feat! We were looking at affordable cars and kept finding vehicles between 12k and no more than 18k with a lot of issues. Though that seems like a lot of money - you just cannot buy a "definately" decent used vehicle of any sort for that price. Of course you can buy a small new auto - not comfortable or highly rated in that price range, we wanted a heavier, safe/sound car. We found a 2012 Cadillac with "mid" mileage on it that was absolutely in the most perfect 'physical' condtion we had ever seen a car in. Of course, anyone would like to have the "cadillac ride" ... but finding this at a price we could afford made us wary of the automobile! Since our income is "fixed" and we are retired, and we have sufferd huge medical bills, and once even were "frauded" by someone which totally ruined our credit for a while, and did not have the funds or the 'know how' to resolve the problem, we just had to wait it out - the years of things being dropped off of our credit report. In the meantime, we drove old cars that just kept breaking down on us, which is so dangerous (and expensive) for older people. We were hesitant because it was at a small car lot that advertises they can finance almost anyone that we stopped by. We found this Cadillac there, and my husband really wanted it. He is a large man (tall) and with a bad back, he just cannot ride in little, uncomfortable cars. I was really afraid of the car. I decided to check CarFax and found that this vehicle was in such prime condition, I was shocked. It had been a corporate car and very well cared for! CarFax rated it top notich and even said it was worth "more" than book value! Of course we bought the car, and actually got decent financing through a credit union! We are very happy with the car! Thank you CarFax for helping us find the deal of our lifetime! Had we not had CarFax to let us know what a super deal that was, I would have not EVER bought the car! I recommend to ANY one buying an automobile to make that very small investment in CarFax ... it can save you thousands of dollars in the long run and give you so very much security on such a large purchase! An automobile is truly an investment in today's world. You'd never buy a home without some sort of history on it, nor should you buy an automobile without a history on it!
