If you still think that carfax is the way to go, here is a link to cbc's marketplace episode on used vehicle purchasing. http://www.cbc.ca/marketplace/2009/v...orts/main.html My own personal preference is to ask the dealer for a test drive, take the car home and do the fine tooth comb thing. |

I am suggesting that your anecdotal "sample" may very well consist overwhelmingly of ricers. If your sample is mostly ricers', then IMO it needs to be acknowledged that ricers' goals are different from someone who prefers stock and/or wants a reliable daily driver. |
