I was in the market for a collector car, a 1989 20th Anniversary Pontiac Turbo Trans Am, one of 1550 produced. I traveled 9 hours close to 600 miles (Chicago) to check this car out. Upon looking at the 2 owner car, which listed 22k miles on the odometer, I just didn't feel right about it. I had my wife at home run a Carfax on it instead of just going by what the seller had told me before I left. Come to find out this car had over 207,000 miles on it and over 5 previous owners, and had several issues with the car throughout its life. I then called the dealer from my hotel room and said that I couldn't do the purchase because of what I had found out. He was very surprised by what I had told him and actually tried to explain them off as "errors" on the report! Carfax saved me from making a $23000 mistake. I found another car in St Louis the next morning and had my wife run a Carfax on that one. It all checked out. A real 2 owner car. I headed to St Louis and looked at the car. Everything check out as stated. I bought the car and had it shipped to my home within the next few days. I am so glad I had Carfax! I have used them several times since and had great luck! Thank you Carfax for being there!
