CARFAX saved me from making a terrible mistake. I found a car I liked, took it into my mechanic and it got a so/so review from him. I was about to buy it but remembered my friend's advice to run a CARFAX, so I pulled out my mobile phone and ran it on the spot. I then realized the mileage on the car was roughly 60,000 miles less than what CARFAX stated should be on the car. When I shared the information with the seller, he claimed he didn't know and acted upset that he had been ripped off from the previous seller. I don't know who cheated who, but I do know CARFAX saved me from being cheated!
