Whats up with the rush of Carfax thingys.

Why can't people just look at the vehicle for themselves, maybe they are jsut looking for a way to sue a dealer.

From my experience with CarFax, it's not worth beans.

I bought a 25th anniversary '92 Camaro RS 5.0 from a Pontiac Dealer in the Norfolk Virgina area that had a clean bill of health on it from CarFax. A year later, a bodyman & Camaro nut that I know looked at it and showed me that the entire front cap had been replaced and the radiator and electric fan were for a V-6 Camaro. I'd also in the meantime had found evidence that the car had sold new in Winston-Salem NC, not local to the Norfolk area as was represented by the dealer.
My best guess on it was that it had been an insurance total and rebuilt with the front cap & radiator off of a V-6.

If CarFax said that my Bronco II was a Bronco II, I'd be a bit suspicious of 'em.

Did you print and save your carfax warranty? That five thousand dollars would have bought a lot of fans!
