Cold War Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 A waste in my opinion. Better off paying shop to check it over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodtick Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 There are a lot of ways to bypass carfax. If the repair wasn’t done under a insurance clam it won’t show. I wouldn’t trust it. I could go buy a fucked up car at auction , hack it back together and it wouldn’t show the hacked up shit I did in my garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to show customers fucked up work on used car they bought because they think we are lying about their clean car fax car. Shitty back yard repairs don’t show up, only quality professional ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamgreen02 Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 You guys just hit all the reasons I'm not paying $40 for a Carfax. If someone has it I'll take it as one piece of information. Still have it planned to have it checked over by my mechanic. I just heard on the radio a lot of flood damaged vehicles are making their way to MN. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F3600 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Purchased a rental fleet return from the manheim auction here in Minnesota. Had 10K on it with a totally clean Carfax. Later found it had been hit in the rear passenger door which had been replaced by the rental car companies auto body and no record of it exists. So Carfax is just one level of investigation that doesn't beat a in person inspection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActionfigureJoe Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Car fax is only a tool-along with a good inspection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
