Answer 1

Depending on which vehicle you are looking at, I would do a pre buyers check at a local dealer (Price anywhere from 40-90 dollars) which tells you whether you are making a good purchase. Carfax is good when it comes to accidents etc, but your local dealer will do tests to make sure your vehicle is good to go for purchase.

Answer 3

I am employed at a New car Dealer.
I have used both Carfax & Autocheck
I have found errors with both but this is a rarity.

I actually prefer Autocheck because the report is easier to read, (better layout) & provides a little more information than Carfax.
Autocheck is a little cheaper, so I find it has more value for the money.

Answer 4

Autocheck is better and they report more, remember that carfax got sued and autocheck has never been accused of any wrong doing.

Answer 5

i went with carfax

Answer 6

I'd go with the one that gave the worst reports.....
