While Carfax is a good tool, and I would definitely want to obtain a copy before purchasing a used vehicle, it will only tell you the reported damage to the vehicle. A vehicle can have damage, and repaired damage without it ever appearing on a Carfax report. Most customers seem to believe if the car has been wrecked a Carfax will tell you or the dealership has to notify you. Not true in either case. You must be your own best advocate when purchasing a used vehicle. Get it inspected by a garage or purchase the extended coverage offered.
