Thanks for that, seems to be only an american thing tho.

I ALWAYS pull a report on any used vehicle I am about to purchase and
provide one to a prospective buyer of any of my own vehicles.

However - I think Carfax is highly overrated.  The biggest problem is
that what does and doesn't have to be reported (by insurance/auto
repair facilities)  varies from one state to another, so here in
llinois, I've never found anything on the reports other than title
changes and emission test milestones.  It's good to track mileage
history, but doesn't help you figure out if the car's been in any major
accidents or that type of thing.

It's useful when buying a used car, but is only a small piece of the
research I would recommend anyone should do before comitting.  I think
a full inspection by someone familiar with cars (whether it's your best
friend, or your local mechanic) is a must - including putting the car
on a lift.

Or us Kiwi's either.
