Please don't solely rely on CarFax. Case in point, was recently looking for my wife a gently used Caddy SRX. Found a 2013 with a clean car fax. Drove 45 minutes to look at it. Within 10 seconds of inspecting it, I spotted body filler/repair work preformed on the driver's side rear quarter panel. Told dealer, no thanks don't even want to test drive it. He offered to fix it to make it look better...no thanks, I'll find one that hasn't been wrecked...

Make sure you buy this car from a licensed dealership or you may be a victim of curbstoning, which is illegal. A curbstoner poses as a private seller to sell vehicles for a large profit. Not cool!

First OwnerWhen the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership. New Owner ReportedWhen a vehicle is sold to a new owner, the Title must be transferred to the new owner(s) at a Department of Motor Vehicles. Ownership HistoryCARFAX defines an owner as an individual or business that possesses and uses a vehicle. Not all title transactions represent changes in ownership. To provide estimated number of owners, CARFAX proprietary technology analyzes all the events in a vehicle history. Estimated ownership is available for vehicles manufactured after 1991 and titled solely in the US including Puerto Rico. Dealers sometimes opt to take ownership of a vehicle and are required to in the following states: Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and South Dakota. Please consider this as you review a vehicle's estimated ownership history. Title IssuedA state issues a title to provide a vehicle owner with proof of ownership. Each title has a unique number. Each title or registration record on a CARFAX report does not necessarily indicate a change in ownership. In Canada, a registration and bill of sale are used as proof of ownership.

From my experience, Carfax only serves to give you a title history. I ran one on a car once and everything came up roses. Two months later the transmission went. Better off getting it checked by a reputable mechanic IMO.
