Just Say "Show Me The Carfax"

In this day and age, it is important that you make the right decision when spending your hard earned money on a used car. Some vehicles may "look" and "drive" great, but they may have had major issues at some point in time that you should know about.

We research every single vehicle we attempt to purchase, just as you should, to guarantee our customers we sell nothing but Carfax Certified vehicles. On average, we pull 400-500 History Reports, per month, and you would be amazed at some of the issues we come across on some of the nicest "looking" vehicles we have to choose from. So, believe us when we tell you that it is easy to be fooled by the "looks" of a vehicle.

Some of the most common issues we come across are odometer rollbacks, accident indicators, flood area registrations, lemon law vehicles, branded titles, salvage titles, and rebuilt titles. These are all issues with used cars that you will not know just by looking at them and driving them. These issues will ruin your chance of resale in the future.

Although a licensed dealer is required to inform you of any title issues or odometer rollbacks, not all of them will. This is your hard earned money you're spending, so DO NOT feel ashamed or bashful to ask any dealer for a Carfax. If the dealer gives you an excuse like their internet service is down, or they want you to pay for it, DO NOT DO BUSINESS with that dealer, no matter how nice the vehicle may look or drive. 9 times out of 10, the dealer will give an excuse not to show you the Carfax, because they know there is a major issue on the History Report.

We tell everyone, whether they purchase a vehicle from us or not, to call us if they are shopping around and they run into a dealer that has an excuse not to show them the Carfax. We have an unlimited monthly subscription, so it won't cost us any more or less to pull reports for anyone. Heck, even if you're reading this, and we don't have a vehicle you like, hold on to our numbers and call us anyway, if you run into this situation. Lou can be reached @ 813-777-4242 or you can reach Mike @ 813-956-8086. Just tell us you saw us on Merchant Circle and we will pull the Carfax for you for FREE!

Now, one problem a lot of consumers have is reading too far into the report. They tend to shy away from some cars, because of something they may see on the Carfax that scares them away. It is important not to let this happen to you. For example there may be a recorded service record where a certain part may have been replaced. This is NOT a bad thing. Also, although we do not sell vehicles with accident indicators on the History Report, it does not mean that it is a "bad vehicle". When you see this, have a body shop or mechanic inspect the vehicle before you make a decision whether or not to purchase it.

You can save yourself a lot of heartache by saying "Show Me the Carfax".
