I always ask for a car fax when i purchase a used Car. It helps me know previous owner(s), any issues with the car,where the car is from, whether it has been properly maintenanced, any warranty left and guides me in my decision of purchase! Trusting in the carfax has prevented me from purchasing a vehicle that has questionable mechanical issues and accidents. Thank you Car Fox for caring about My safety and My family safety <3

My Pops used my email to get his carfax. Cause he doesn't own a computer never has never will. AND it helped him get the information needed to follow through and purchase his Cadillac Biarritz :). It's a sweet ride for a cool Pops like mine . AND SEE YOU DON'T EVEN NEED A COMPUTER JUST A WILLING DAUGHTER TO HELP YOU OUT!! Peace Judi

I was searching for the best used minivan I could afford for my business, so quality and price were critical. I found one online I thought was perfect at a fantastic price. After talking with the salesperson on the phone, I checked CARFAX and discovered the van was wrecked with a reconstituted title. I signed up for unlimited searches, and found a great low-mileage van, with more features than I wanted, and within my budget. When I saw it, the van looked brand new. CARFAX is a must!

By using carfax I was able to pick from three vehicles I was hoping to buy. It showed me several things about the cars that did not show up on another "car check" system. I am very pleased with carfax , and will use it on future used vehicle I plan to buy. I have also told friends and family about the value of using it.

I went to look at a low mileage car. It looked perfect. It clean and nice. I asked if it had ever been in an accident. No no. The seller saw me lean in to get the VIN number. He then stated that it was a very small accident and the airbags did not deploy. I went home and the car had been totalled in another state! Thank you CarFax!!

I used CarFax in the long search for our "new" to us, pick up - It was nice to have another layer of information about the vehicles being considered. Having the CarFax allowed us to feel confident in the choice we eventually made and we are loving our 05 Ford F-150! I would recommend CarFax and use it again when we are in the market to buy another car!

I was looking for a reliable used car for our daughter and her newborn son, and we thought we had found the right car for her. As an afterthought, I ran a CARFAX, and now I am SO glad I did. It turns out, the car had more owners than previously claimed, AND also the car had been involved in an accident. CARFAX saved us from making a huge mistake on that purchase ! -Tim M.

Recently, I bought an old but well taken care Freestar 2005 minivan for my parents. The minivan past my "eye" and driving tests. However, I felt uncertain about proceeding with the purchase due to the lack of information shared by the seller. Carfax report provided me with the information required to be certain about purchasing a used vehicle. My parents love their minivan and I love to see them happy!

I purchased a carfax report for a car I was trying to sell. Unfortunately, the carfax report was missing something which showed up on the autocheck report which caused some confusion.

CarFax is absolutely essential for anyone who is buying their first ever car. Since the used car market is not 100% transparent, its easy to get tricked into buying a faulty car with hidden defects that does not match your expectation. I'm glad I purchased the CarFax account and was able to check the complete history before making a decision.

I wanted to buy a newer BMW but they were very expensive. I came across a very good deal but I was scapetical and used car fax to check the Vin number history. It turned out the car was partially flooded and with the help of car fax info I was able to lower the price drastically. I fixed the car and I got myself a great beamer for a very low price and very low milage. All thanks to car fax.

On New Years Eve a man ran a stop sign and totaled my car. I needed to buy a replacement and didn't want a car payment. I am a single woman that doesn't know much about buying a used car. I was told to go to CARMAX because they had a return policy but they didn't have anything in my price range. (under $10,000) I searched all the dealerships and was surprised at how high they mark up the used cars. Finally, I started looking at private party sellers on line and found the prices were much lower and I had found dozens of cars in my price range. When the price was too good to believe it was a car with a salvaged title. I found a Hyundia Tiburon SE 2007 with only 31,000 miles in excellent condition $10,000. I went and saw the car and fell in love. Everyone tried to tell me it was too low milage for that age. I ordered a report on the car from a company that said why pay $40.00 for the information when I could get 3 reports from the for $12.99. I ordered the report from them that they claim was just as good. The report showed the mileage at 129 four different dates that the car had been serviced. This made it seem like there was something funny going on with the odometer readings and I almost decided not to buy it. The man seemed so honest but then again a 2007 with only 31,000 miles! I decided to contact CARFAX and pay the higher price report. You get what you pay for in this type of service. The CARFAX report was detailed and showed everything that the car had been done to the car and the dates and mileage were not showing anything that might be suspicious or make me think there was any reason not to buy the car. I am so glad I went and got the CARFAX report because the car is really great and I got lucky to find one with such low miles. When I purchased new tires it was easy to add the information to the history and keep the records up to date. Thank you CARFAX I love my new car and it's worth every penny to get a report from you.

Carfax cost us $9000 in trade in value. We were told by our insurance company and the other responsible party's insurance company that the car was NOT totaled after an accident. However Carfax reported that it was totaled so we lost money on the trade in. We didn't know how to contact anyone at carfax and had no choice but to take it. We're not at all impressed by carfax.

my subscription to carfax recently proved to be invaluable. I was moments from purchasing a used vehicle after 3 months of searching and thanks to CARFAX I discovered the vehicle had the motor replaced and was being misadvertised! the seller was a smooth talking pro - and clearly he was able to fool me! if it had not been for my last minute decision and instinct to run a CARFAX report I could be out tens of thousands of dollars. I was able to discover the vehicle had been bought and sold 9 times, once simply 2 days after it was sold - so clearly the vehicle would have been problematic. I can't thank you guys enough at Carfax. you saved me from making a potentially disastrous

I was looking at a Chevy Suburban. I fell in love with Suburbans when my dad bought his first one when I was 14. Well, the Carfax showed great records with one owner for the vehicle. I knew for sure it was a winner, though, when I saw that the dealership acquired it on my dad's birthday. After purchasing it, I found the original sticker in the glove box just like my dad would have done. And, it is a wonderful vehicle.

This is not that I purchased a car but because of Car Fax i did not purchase ! Found out thru Car Fax that the car has many accidents and was owned by many. The owner did not disclose this and gave the impression that this was not the case. This was not the first time that Car Fax allowed me to avoid a purchase. I will not purchase a car without Car Fax

We were looking to replace my wifes 1993 volvo 940 wagon ( which my 18 year old daughter now drives) and found a 2008 subaru outback for sale by owner. The car was immaculate and the carfax showed 1owner and 1accident. We talked extensively to the owner and found out the mishap occurred right after they purchased it. We had a chance to talk to the repair shop and found out they were very reputable and did quality work. We ended up making an offer on the car below blue book value and now drive that great car. We have used carfax twice since then and have found the information obtained to be very valuable in making used car purchase decisions. Great product with great useful information. I would highly recommend carfax to anyone purchasing a used vehicle. Dan from Detroit.
