Default Carfax Reports ?

Took a chance last weekend when I bought the Vette but after checking with Carfax I feel better

Got 29 Days left for Unlimited Reports thought I would offer to help anyone if they need the service.

PM VIN and EMail addy if your interested.

Nice gesture. IMO though, Carfax is junk. It only reports mileage and claimed insurance incidents. I've got two cars in my possession that have been damaged and repaired yet both have clean carfax reports.

So you would rather have no info? Some info is better than none. What else is out there?

I bought a Jetta for my boy that Carfaxed good. after only a few weeks things didn't seem right...long story short ran it on Autocheck and the freaking thing had been re-titled in 6 states in 8 months! was a total. I would never use any information from carfax as being facts.
