Got the carfax report free last week...that works IF the previous owner actually reports accidents/damage/repairs. If you pay cash and don't report things, it doesn't get in the database. We've run into that a couple times this past year in purchasing used vehicles for fleet use. Found out two of the 15 had major damage/repairs (one had the entire front end replaced...motor and all...) but Carfax was clean as a whistle.
Actually, this truck was a good deal. Had the chance to speak to the dealer, previous owner and he had all his service records. Still, I like putting eyes on something just to make sure. Didn't want to drive the 750 miles to find out it wasn't as described....
What I should have done is post this request first off....didn't even think about our group until this past Friday. We got folks all over the place...what better group to pull from to evaluate a vehicle than our people.....
