Buying a car 101: Don't trust Carfax....

Buying a car 101: Don't trust Carfax. I have so many clients who have been scared by the Carfax marketing efforts, about making sure you have a Carfax when buying a car, and so many people who buy a good number of cars will tell you, don't trust the report when buying a car. It will not tell you if you are buying a good car, and in most cases, there is information that is not correct on the report

, from false claims, odometer errors etc. The best way, in my opinion, when you are looking at buying a car is to have a full 3rd party mechanical inspection performed, as well as a 3rd party body inspection. After 7-years in the automotive business, I have never had one car returned due to a faulty diagnosis, or misrepresenting a vehicle. As an enthusiast, this is the most effective way of seeing what you are actually getting when purchasing a car, not just information on a piece of paper. I want to know what the car is doing today. Period. Don't ever buy a car the day you look at it either. Dealers pray on clients who make irrational decisions, and that is what you will be doing if you get caught up in the excitement of buying a car, and that is how most people get burned when buying a car. Slow down, do your homework, have the car inspected, and save yourself the headache. If you ever have questions about buying a car, I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
