I had been searching for a used RV for several months and found many out of state and too far away for inspection. I finally located one near a friend in Phoenix who could inspect the vehicle for cosmetics, verify mileage, and get a close up look before making an offer. I had them pass along the VIN number and used another low cost service to search its history but couldn't get any real details. I used Car Fax and found all the good information I was hoping to find showing the dealer maintenance and repair records, state emissions verifications, records of sale and title transfers to validate the owners claims. With this long distance sale I felt comfortable enough to send a bank transfer deposit to hold until I could travel for the final inspection and close the deal. I am not sure I could have done this comfortably without the details Car Fax provided to prove the history of the vehicle. I would recommend the service to anyone who wants the complete history before they make their purchase decision.
