I'm thinking about buying a ti. Ask all your questions about the possible purchase of a ti. Keep in mind, we are biased.

It's been in an accident. Price sounds a little high.

This one is salvage. Don't buy this either.

As someone who is just starting to look into getting a ti, I'd never seen a Carfax report before. Those are damn interesting.

Oh, and been viewing here for a short bit so far, love it!

Yeah, I bought my report for $25 and it gives you unlimited searches for one month. $20 would have bought a one time search only. I bought my car just recently and now when you do a VIN check on my car, it shows that I've owned it for 7 days.

Carfax isn't 100% though. If a car got into an accident and both parties decided not to call the police and report it, then it won't be in there.

So it only goes off what the police and the DMV sees, then? So if someone ran their car into a ditch, no police report, then had it repaired at an honest, up-and-up body shop, that wouldn't show up as long as it didn't get totalled? Even if the insurance company knew about it?

Go to the "About Us" page on the Carfax site. There's a link to a table of their information sources.
