I was recently shopping for a pre-owned BMW X5 and found one in a city, 5 hours away from me. I it looked awesome, flawless almost. What luck. I called and made an appointment with the sales person for the following day to go look at it (as there weren't that many available locally that were optioned out the way I wanted). For some reason however, I kept thinking that this must be too good to be true. The price was really good. I signed up for Carfax that evening and plugged in the VIN. Thank goodness I did as the report showed that not only had the vehicle been in an accident but it was a roll-over accident! No wonder it looked so good in the photos; it had been completely rebuilt. Regardless, I immediately knew I wasn't going down that road. I called the sales person the next morning and cancelled the appointment. Not only was I saved from a potentially horrible vehicle, but I saved myself a 10 hour drive. Thank goodness for Carfax. I found my vehicle shortly thereafter and as I had signed up for the 5 carfax reports, I found a good report on the X5 I ended up with. - Bryan H
