Carfax fraud!
Hey guys, i am so disappointed at carfax, i think you and i need to learn from this
I bought a vehicle that had front end damage from a collision, which wasn't disclosed by the seller. And he’d shown me a CARFAX report, which also didn't show any accident records — the car was absolutely clean according to it. However, I ran a report on another website, epicvin.com, and it showed that the car was in an accident and then repaired. I don't know why this information wasn't disclosed by CARFAX, but now I'm aware that CARFAX isn’t a service that can be trusted, and I won't use it again.

did you run the carfax check yourself to verify it was correct? the dealer could have had a fake document that showed it clear.....
rule 1, check the vehicle thouroughly either yourself or get a mechanic to do it.
rule 2 do a proper guaranteed hpi check yourself. that way you will have some comeback if it is wrong
rule 3. never trust a dealer, he/she is there to get as much money from you as they can

I did! I ran carfax myself, and the problem was that it was clean. But then my friend advised my to run it on epicvin.com which reported photos of amazing transformation of my car. You can see it for yourself

Why not?
My friend mooved from UK a few yesars ago to Dubai and he is driving an american car now
This service about vin decoding is really helpfull , like am not in this business , but I know that thiss guys Epicvin which Tom was talking about ..they are really good in their business
Checked some random cars from them and I love it!
Really important to know the history of your car before you will decide to buy it..
so there is less risk of buying a pig in a poke
