Hello my name is Mark Rochester, I have never used CARFAX in the past. I had seen the commercials but was skeptical. I have used several different on line companies in order to research but in most cases the information is old, outdated or incorrect. I am an American living in Guadalajara, México. I recently made a deal on a beach property with a partial trade of a 2008 Ford Logo Limited Edition and cash. I was very excited as it is one of only 5000 made. After driving the vehicle, I noticed a problem with the suspension. I was also concerned with the mileage as it was just over 20,000 miles which seemed low for a 2008 model. I also noticed some of the body lines were off and some different colors in paint. I asked the owner if it had ever been in an accident. He stated it had not. At that point I thought of running a CARFAX. I went to the website and paid and ran a report. I found the complete history of the vehicle. It had been a total loss vehicle at a little over 3000 miles. It also had a salvaged title and had been purchased and rebuilt. The mileage at the time of the second purchase was over 42000 miles. Most likely the vehicle had over 60,000 or many more. I found it was a common practice in México to take a salvaged vehicle from the United States and get a new title in México. They do not have Salvaged titles here. I decided not to complete the deal unless they paid me in just cash. The deal went through, but it could have been a complete costly disaster if it were not for CARFAX. It is nice to know I could be in a Foreign Country and be able to show the seller that I am intelligent in my purchases. It also helped in my negotiation for the land purchase as they knew that I was well informed. Thanks to CARFAX I was able to make the right decision. Thanks again for your help and the great service you provide. I was Gratefully Satisfied. I will use you again! Mark Rochester
