I paid for a CarFax report on a vehicle I purchased on February 4, 2015. The CarFax report showed that it had only been on the east coast & in Colorado, with two owners, yet the paperwork in the glove box shows 4 owners & it has parking permit stickers on it from Hawaii. It also did not mention the fact that the horn does not function, the driver side airbag is not in place and the cruise control also does not work.
It never said it was in an accident, yet the front bumper has several big cracks in it which tell me that the air bag deployed & was not replaced. The entire steering column components need replacement.
The CarFax reports are very unreliable. My son experienced the same thing when he got a CarFax report on two other vehicles. Both vehicles had been in accidents which did not show up on the CarFax reports. This ended up costing us over $10K in repairs & he's selling his second vehicle he bought based upon a CarFax report of which we also spent about $10K fixing. We've lost money on multiple vehicles relying on CarFax.
I highly recommend against relying on CarFax for anything relating to purchasing a used vehicle. This is the first time I have ever purchased a used vehicle in my life. I totalled my 2000 Toyora 4Runner LTD which was in excellent shape, wanted the same type of vehicle & this one has had more problems & been in the shop 4 times since I bought it. It's a piece of junk.
Stay Away from CarFax unless you want a piece of junk vehicle.
