Carfax is fucking me

So Car Fax is in collusion with the car dealers? Say it isn't so.

 

It isn't so.

 

If anything, CarFax has been fucking dealers since day 1; not because they are making it easier for consumers to see history (that's a good thing) but because major dealers now need to lay out a significant subscription fee every month to have CarFaxes show up on their websites.

Yep, have to try and make a claim for diminished value, and GOOD LUCK with that.

 

Carfax is a decent tool, but it's screwed me in the past as well.

 

Unfortunately, you cannot get diminished value in Ohio, just went through this in December, had to get a 34k mile vehicle totaled, because I knew it would never be the same and I would be fucked with carfax.

Ok.

So after going through the mechanical and physical reconditioning of a car to get it ready for sale nobody saw anything out of the ordinary?

Dealer =/= dealers. That's not a dealer colluding with CarFax, that's a shady dealer pulling some shady dealer shit.

 

Moral of the story: don't deal with shady dealers. Problem is, they often stoop to the greasiest tricks and offer the most insane prices (right before they screw you) so they stay in business.
