Are You Crazy - Buying A Used Car Without A CarFax Report?
No doubt about it, if you're buying a used car you need to learn how to read a CarFax (CF) Report. A CF report is available on most of the cars in a used car dealer's lot. What makes CF work is the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) on every car made since 1981 and this 17 character number is stamped on many parts of a car's body.
Run your own CF if the used automobile you are considering in doesn't have one.. Do NOT, under any circumstances, buy a used car without viewing the CF about that car. You can save a small fortune in return for the few dollars the report costs.
When a car is involved in a crash that requires body work the body shop reports the damage to CarFax you, the owner, have no say in the matter. CarFax is advised when a car flunks the state emission inspection. CarFax is alerted when water damage destroys a car by a flood, hurricane, or other types of water damage.
You would not know that some used cars have been reconstructed, by criminals, after being destroyed by water damage. Well, until about six months later when the entire car rusts to a hulk one night. Cars, totaled in terrible auto accidents, can be repaired and look like nothing ever happened until all four tires wear out in two months.
The number of owners reported, and type of owners, can save you from buying a heavily used corporate/municipal vehicle that was purchased, for a few bucks, and repaired to look like it was driven by a little old lady. If the odometer has been fiddled with odometer warnings point out this fact. Electronic odometers can easily be rolled back with a simple device hooked up to a PC and run by a Geek.
All sorts of unusual legal things can affect the car title. CF catches all kinds of scams, run by crooks, that can affect the car title. There are salvage, junk, rebuilt, fire, flood, hail, lemon, mechanical limit types of titles and CarFax alerts you to anything but a normal title.
Pay for a CarFax if there are no problems with your used car for sale and make copies and hand to folks who drop in to see at the car. Tell them that CF will buyback the car if they see something that CarFax missed - they have that guarantee on every car that passes all their checks. - 21392
