“Carfax is amazing, it is really easy to use and usually gives you a good overview of how the car was maintained, how many owners, mileage, how many miles have been put on it every year. It helped me find my vehicle, It saved me from buying a lemon once which I'm grateful for because it would've been a lot of extra money that I wasn't willing to spend. I was going to buy a 2003 Ford Escape, and I ran a carfax before I was going to purchase it, and it blew my mind what I found out about it. It said that in 2008 it had 180k miles already, and the funny thing is I was going to buy it here in 2015 and the odometer said 127k miles. If you put the numbers together who knows how much miles it has, I later saw that car selling again because it broke down. THANK YOU CARFAX, you saved me money and time :)”

“Was checking out an 05 Silverado that had been a contractors truck. I was on the fence about it as it was not in perfect condition but appeared to be in good mechanical order. Used CarFax for the first time and was able to look over its entire service history. Decided from what i saw that it was a good deal and got the truck. So far no surprises! Was an excellent use of 40bucks and will definitely use again in future!”

“I recently purchased a 2003 Jaguar XJ8 Sport. I like knowing a vehicles history before I buy it. Some problems are easily overlooked without CARFAX. CARFAX gives me the confidence to buy used cars.”

“Thanks to CarFax we were able to save ourselves from possibly a lot of grief in the future. We bought a late model truck at an auction, it looked and ran really well and we were so proud of the "bargain". But when we returned home we did a CarFax check and found out the vehicle had 100,000 more miles on it than the odometer said. We contacted everyone involved with the sale of the vehicle and when we told them someone had ran the miles back according to the mileage documentation on the CarFax report and that it was a federal offense, they were very anxious to give us our money back without a problem. Had it not been for CarFax we most likely would not have caught the odometer change. Thank you CarFax and I will never be without you. Most importantly, we will check CarFax "before" we buy.”

“I wanted to find a one owner Tahoe that fit my budget. By using the selective process that Carfax provides, I was able to look at several one owner Tahoe's online and chose the one I wanted. I then worked online with the dealer to negotiate the price. The final step was to go on-site and finish the deal. Since the vehicle was 40 miles from my home, I was not interested in trying to negotiate the price while on-site. After a test drive, I had a couple of things I wanted done before taking ownership and was able to come back one more time after the dealer was done. The ability to select parameters such as model and price and one-owner was helpful.”

“The dealer carfax was useless; AFTER I had purchased the vehicle, I had to pay your price to get a history that included 2 owners and at least 1 accident, for which the PA DMV could give me no information on the extent of damage, etc. I'm not (so far) having any issues, but info like whether the frame(?) was damaged would be helpful.”

“It is surprising how many dishonest car sellers are out there. Twice in the past 3 months I have found the car that fits my criteria only....well, looked like it fit my criteria. In both cased the miles were under reported by well over 100,000 and one had been in a serious collision with major damage....it was listed as "clean", but it was actually a salvage. The money spent on CarFax reports saved me thousands in bad car purchases.”

“I had been lookng for a first car everywhere, even if it meant going on a long drive. So i finally found a 1995 acura integra 4 hours away. The title said clean, so i was ready to go we set out on the trip. At that time i decided carfax was something i should really get into since im going to be looking at a lot of cars. Come to find out the acura had been in a bad collision and was considered salvage. 20 minutes in the trip we went home. Im very lucky to have gotten CARFAX its been very helpful ever since.”

“I a I was looking for a Lincoln Town Car for a while. Found a great deal with low mileage and a very clean CarFax, I bought it a a great price and at a reputable dealership. CARFAX took the worry out of the purchase as a number of those on sale turned out to be dogs after reviewing the reports. CarFax is well worth anything else that is available. Love the Town Car.”

“Very glad I checked the CarFax before buying my vehicle, discovered that the car I was about to buy had been in the shop for lots of issues not said by the other. Always get a CarFax before buying a used car.”

“I was looking for a good used car for my 17 yr old son on craigslist and you wouldn't believe how many scammers there are. Lot of cars have salvage title or rebuilt and with car fax I could tell how many owners there where and for how long they had the car for. About 50% of cars for sale by owner was wanna be used car sales hustler listed "for sale by owners" When I question them using car fax data they either hung up or made stupid excuses like: Oh its by girlfriends car or im just selling it for a friend. CarFax data if used right is a powerful tool to weed out the good cars from the bad”
