I recently came across a posting for a used car for sale at my place if employment. I was looking for a car for my daughter, who is a newly licensed driver. I contacted the seller, questioned them about the car, and was told that they were the second owner of the car, it was in EXCELLENT condition, and it has been well cared for. I took my daughter to check out the car, and noticed that it has some overspray of paint, and some other questionable marks on the car. We jotted down the VIN number, took it home and ran a Carfax and discovered that the car was a salvaged vehicle and they were the 3rd owner of the vehicle! Our search continued....... We found another vehicle, ran a Carfax, and it was the PERFECT car for my daughter! THANK YOU, Carfax, from a VERY grateful momma of a teenaged driver!! * side note*...... I was recently involved in a minor accident, my car sustaining some rear end damage. When my daughter found out about the accident, the first words out of her mouth ( after I reassured her that I was fine, and the car was fixable) were " There goes your clean Carfax mom"! Gotta love her!! Thanks again, for empowering car buyers in a market that can be filled with deception!
