we were looking for a land rover discovery. not many on the market. looking at carfax, we saw that many had accidents soon after being bought but not after the 1 year mark. we finally found one that looked as good as it was priced. we checked carfax to verify it's history and are now proud owners of a used discovery. too bad the carfax doesn't have a line on what the dealers are like that are selling them!! that would have saved a lot of time and grief. also, we have used carfax to look at our own cars histories before we sell them, one we bought before carfax was available. We knew what the prospective buyers would be considering and it helped diagnose problems also. Thanks, carfax!!
