Are you planning on buying a used BMW E60?
tip: Get the seller to provide you the carfax report. If they want to sell the car, they should not have a problem giving you a free report.

I always ask but sometimes sellers are just cheap and do not want to offer it. I'm not sure if anyone has this option but its only 9.95 for a report on a single car not bad for what you get thanks

I was going to say, if you are planning in buying a BMW E60 and you don't want to pay the 19.99 at the carfax website, then perhaps you should go with a Honda Civic (Besides, you can put Unleaded gas in a Honda) but since he asked nicely.

Tip:


Carfax is absolutely worthless.



Fact:



I owned a 1999 Lexus RX300. In June 2000, this RX300 was stolen in Atlanta, involved in a high-speed police chase through midtown and crashed into a parking garage before the suspect escaped on foot.


Several years later I attempted to sell this vehicle, and I ran a Carfax report. The Carfax report came back clean. No indication of the car having been stolen, recovered by Atlanta Police, and repaired. Absolutely clean report.



Seems to me that someone would want to know that their potential used car purchase had been stolen and wrecked.




Carfax is horseshit. Plain and simple.

I disagree with subterFUSE. You know exactly what you're getting with horseshit...Carfax...you don't But seriously, subterFUSE is correct...Carfax is not always accurate.

subterFUSE

Yep.


My Lexus had been wrecked and repaired 3 times in total. Yet the carfax report was clean.

Carfax is just a tool, not an absolute. It can sometimes point the way to trouble. I would not miss a nice car with good history because of a Carfax report, nor would I buy a car that is suspect just because Carfax said it was clean. Use your head, your eyes, and a paint meter, and make better decisions.

What's a "Paint meter"? Never heard/seen one before. Is this a device? How does it work? Expensive? Won't putting the car on the sun and looking at it from different angles do the same?

I agree with allenman. As I was car shopping, I would run Carfax reports on anything I was interested in. The reports help me discover one of the vehicles I was interested in was in 3 major accidents. At the same time, I knew was wrong with the vehicle just by inspecting it.
