“I almost bought a vehicle that read 95,000 miles on the odometer, I checked it on carfax turns out this vehicle had over 200,000 miles on it. Please make sure you know what you are buying a lot of scams out there.”

“Was looking for a specific type of Chevy Suburban in a short purchase window. Carfax got me an accurate report very quickly and allowed me to make my choice quickly. Very happy with my new truck. Carfax is a must for me in the future for any car / truck purchase.”

“Oh my goodness! We are looking for a 1st car for our daughter. Well we thought this volvo was a good deal. Well the young man said it had been in his family since it was made, well he then told me he hadn't pulled a carfax in a while. Now, why would you pull a carfax on a car that has been in your family since it was made. He sent me the vin and it was partial, but thanks to carfax it helped me figure out correct numbers. Well the car had 6 owners and it was from my home state. I nicely texted him and said no thank you! I'm sure to this day he's tryin to figure out why. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Sebrena”

“I used Carfax to verify the ownership and mileage of a 2001 Honda Civic advertised on Craigs list in Sacramento. The Carfax indicated that the mileage was actually about 40,000 more than the car odometer which had been rolled back. Also the seller had not registered the car in his name and had been driving it for about a year without current registration and insurance. We did not buy this car thanks to Carfax. MAA”

“I had been looking at cars on Craigslist and was getting ready to buy a car that had low mileage and good price. When I decided to get the carfax first and it was a good thing I did because it had 2 owner and two recalls. The ower claimed she brought it new but according to the carfax she only had it 4 months. So I checked 4 others cars one was salvaged, one was a few accidents, and the one I purchased was great only 2 owners. I also signed up for the guarantee from carfax. I even checked my old car I was getting rid of just for fun. Carfax has saved me from making a bad investment. Thank you carfax.”

“I found a car online. The seller (private party) was claiming to be original owner and that mileage was under 100K, and there was no accidents. I quickly carfaxed the car, and found the last reported mileage was 261K, the car was originally a rental vehicle then had thres owners, Also there were two reported accidents, and title actually was salvage! I think carfax really saved me from buying a junk.”

“I just brought a Nissan Murano SL 2009. I had looked for other vehicles as well much good looking and offered good deals, but the only thing I could trust was the car fax. The Car Fax gave such a detailed report like Additional History, Detail History which showed how many owners owned this car in the past, there maintenance records, there accidents details etc. I had no mechanical background and didn't know what to look for in a car while inspecting, I am glad Car Fax provided the guidelines “Smart Buyers Checklist”, it made my life easy. It also gave a Price Calculator; it helped me a lot in negotiation of the price of the vehicle.”

“Carfax very helpful but would like more vin searches. After all many cars that anyone would be looking at are on a lot or unregistered at someone's home. Had to resub scribe to get more cons available. But in the end found my mustang!”

“I would have ended up buying an Elantra that looked stunning. If not for carfax, I would have never known that it was salvage/rebuilt. Thanks to it, now I own an accord with a clean carfax.”

“Was considering buying a car that looked ok on the surface. Seller did not mention any major problems with the car that 'he knew about' and was reluctant to give the license plate or VIN. When saw the car I noticed the lic plate and decided to check the carfax. The report showed me that it was flood damaged. Saved me a lot of time and effort.”

“I relocated to the US recently for work. Trying to fast track set-up from scratch -- getting a local identity, bank account, social security, driver’s license, residence etc were a cake walk. The major hurdle was finding the right, trust worthy car at the right price from the open market given that nobody was giving me a loan (since i had no credit history). With limited budget and a keen eye for research i evaluated a number of cars. My trusted partner in this journey was my Car Fax account that i purchased for about $55 enabling me to view unlimited number of CarFax reports by just having the license plate number. $55 was not a small amount at that point, but today i feel that to be one of the best investment i have made. Thanks to CarFax, it helped me eliminate many a prospects that would have been a blunder. I now have a car that i love, thanks to CarFax.”

“Looked into the history of where a 1999 Chrysler Concorde had been previous to one of my best customers needing to have questions answered. Thanks to a very informative & detailed report from CARFAX, we were able to provide the important information they were looking for in a quick, professional looking report. Not only were we so satisfied with the service, our company signed up for the subscription service so we can offer this great information to anyone of our valued customers BEFORE they buy another used vehicle! Thanks and keep up the great work.”

“I was faced May 2014 with a write-off for my Volvo S80 4 door sedan because a young lady drove into my trunk at 55 mph on the Trans Canada Hwy.. I know very little about cars, except keeping them maintained. I do not like spending money and a car to me is a huge waste of money, but a necessity! I like a luxury car: leather upholstery, power door locks, air conditioning, good stereo, sound system, good handling, safety, enough power to pass in traffic, etc. My time is valuable and I dreaded looking for a new car to replace my Volvo. Anyway a neighbour told me about a older Mercedes I should look at and the first thought after seeing the car was go online with car fax to check it had no accidents. Carfax even supplied me past service history over 12 years ago for the car, which helped me make a decision to buy. I was impressed with Car fax data. I will use Car fax again says Robert Jennings, West Vancouver, June 16, 2014. This is not a paid advertisement.”
