Cafax is useful for screening potential cars - to eliminate the ones with obvious problems like accidents or ownership in unfortunate "salty" states.

So, with Carfax you can eliminate about 80% of the candidates right away.

The rest you have to go see in person.


Also, I will suggest that you get a better deal for your money with AUTOCHECK instead of Carfax. Carfax is known to actively hassle people for what they might consider "excessive" requests. Such as screening EBay cars.

Autocheck gives you a longer subscription run for the dollar.
