Carfax Review

So i own a 1991 RS Camaro. It currently has something like 211,000 miles on it and i've always been curious on what it had done and been through and who owned it and for how long and of course if there was any accidents reported. Well i just did the carfax and it has a clean carfax although it failed emissions in 2005.

Overall Carfax is very good and a great way to spend 30$-40$ depending on how many you need. I completed the entire carfax in less than five minutes. Its very cool. ***** < Five Stars

2005
My parked dodge ram was side swiped by a drunk gieco customer. She put gashes from the rear bumper to the front. New bed side, door, front fender and 2 bumpers. police report filed. Arrest made.

2003
16 y/o female allstate customer in a rabbit ran a stop sign and T-boned me. pushed the rocker and floor almost to the frame. New door. Police report filed.

2 different times my truck has had MAJOR sugary. 2 diff police reports from 2 different cities.

2009 I ran a carfax (friend had a subscription ) and the only thing it shows are my smog tests and when i changed the registration from state to state...



Carfax also shows my mercades beater with 335K as being clean.. And I know for a fact it was hit hard in the front. You can see where a whole new inner fender and rad support was welded in. The hood and fender aliments are all off. The only ineresting fact i learned from carfax about this thing is that im at least the 7th owner

Re: Carfax Review

FWIW i think carfax is highly overrated.If you`re lucky it only shows reported issues.not what someone fixed or paid to be fixed without insurance companies knowledge.Thats still ify.
