[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 377924, member: 1233"] You Smartypants!!! You are totally right about CarFax. When it first came out it was a very good thing. But there there were some floods, and some places stopped reporting to CarFax because then it was harder to sell the cars. Used to be the oil change places here all reported to Car Fax. Now none do unless you want to pay a service fee. I ran a car fax on MY car when we did a trade in once, because the dealer said it showed a lot of bad things and we hadn't had any accidents or anything. The dealer was lying, tried to show us one on a different car and I could see where he had used white out to put our VIN in there and then make a copy - the fool), but Car Fax showed NOTHING at all on our car. Not even the dealer service that my parents had done when they owned it first. ALWAYS as your mechanic first if a car is worth buying. And before you trade yours in ask your mechanic what a good trade in value is. Usually they can give you a good value, and you can use that to negotiate. [/QUOTE]
