What is on a carfax!?

Question:
wondering what kind of things may be on a carfax for a 2006 impala with 18K miles! the "free" report just says that there are 7 reports. I will get the complete carfax from the dealer but i was wondering if anyone has knowledge about this! what can the 7 reports possibly be on a car that is 1 year old!! are the reports on carfaxes always BAD!? thanks

Where can i find used cars around $2,000 or less in dc metro area?


Their more than likely not accidents. But let me tell you this, there are accidents and damage that wont appear on a carfax, such as ones where there was never a police report filed. My friend purchased a 98 Camry from the dealer. She took it back 4 months later because the front end was falling apart and they refused to fix it because it had "been in an accident" and was obvious (contrary to the carfax report). Some digging turned out to show that the accident occurred at another dealer while in their possession and they fixed it (it was in Toyota's records). So you can trust a carfax with your life.

Look under a vehicle to see if new parts have attached (generally cleaner/newer then the rest). Look for mismatched paint. Look inside the door frames (generally behind the rubber strip) to see if you see any paint lines from a repaint. Inspect the vehicle good.

Lets move on to the issue of a Rental Car. Rental cars are NOT cared for. When someone rents a car they dont think "I must be gentle and take care of this" no, they think "it's not my car, no need to respect it". Some do, but a lot don't. Keep that in mind.

Would you buy a car from this person???

a year old and it has 18000 miles! phew, well a carfax tells the history of a car, wrecks, insurance claims etc. I recommend instead of doing that take it to your mechananic and have them look it over to make sure its in good working condition.

if in the market to buy a car the carfax reports 30 dollars for a month of free complete reports on the car ,, it could have been a rental or had a blown engine or anything but most mechanics in shops will do a free saftey check on the major systems and for a small amount run the E-Prom chip set check for the trouble codes and read them out

Why does my new car get hit from behind ?

There are title transfers, a few trucks I looked at had maintenace records for factory recalls and then they also say if they are wrecked or had mileage fraud. I will tell you that I bought a wrecked car when it was wrecked and to this day it still shows a clean bill of health from carfax. I say that it's not worth buying it. Most dealers will give it to you for free just to give you peace of mind and they hope you'll buy the car from them.
