Please Help: What does this Carfax Report tell me?

[DontTaseMeBro]

It doesn't look like 41k I'd be willing to spend........

The little nagging exhaust noises etc seemed to be related to the stop/start feature which is easy to disable.
Good find @tooleyondeck about the oil change intervals - I glossed right over that. It also could have had one at a shop that doesn't report, but nonetheless something to think about.

If you really like it, low ball them and make it worth the potential aggravation.

Where did you see that they're asking $41k for it? The mileage is 41k, no price mentioned by OP. Unless I'm missing something?

You are correct. I must have misconstrued the verbiage of multiple replies.........is been a long week of training, so my mind is a little mushy

looks like they most recently ran it almost 14K miles between oil changes... not good for these sensitive 6.2s

My car fax will look similar as I do my own oil changes every other service. The sheet will look like I only changed it every 12k.

41K Miles, 79.9K asking

Ohh.....thanks for the clarification. It's definitely out of my comfort zone on price now for sure. LOL

Why aren't you putting in your own DIY entries? I do, and my Carfax looks seamless and logical.

I noticed that too! I like to change oil on new engine 500-1000 miles and every 3k after that. Some might say that is excessive but keeping maintenance records and frequent oil changes is one of the best things to help resale. When I sold my trucks with this documentation most astute buyers paid higher premium price and they didn’t haggle.

Yet another thing that makes Carfax pretty much useless. If you can enter DIY stuff (which BTW I didn't even know you could), then owners could fraudulently enter anything they want.

A few years ago I was looking for a used car and bought ten Carfax reports. Settled on a car before I used up all ten reports and the reports expire, so I ran reports on some of the other cars I had bought new and still owned (so I knew the history) and one car of a family member (that also bought their car new). The carfax reports were glaring wrong for all three.

For one car the report said the car had three owners, mostly likely because it had been registered in three different states (active duty military at the time, we moved a lot), but another of our cars which had also moved with us, and been registered in three states, still showed as only one owner. That second car (my wifes daily) had been in two collisions, minor collisions sure, but repaired at a dealership and paid for by the insurance company both times, neither collison showed up on the carfax report. The family member's car had a very incomplete service /repair history. I do my own maintenance, so of course routine maintenance was missing from my reports, but the family member was a frequent dealership flyer, literally everything besides putting dang gas in the car happend at the dealership, at least 2/3 of the service/ repair history was simply not on the carfax report.

As a result of this personal experience , I put little faith in what carfax has to say (although them not recording the two accidents my wifes car was in may have increased its trade in value, so maybe I should be thankful to them for being inaccurate).

Would you rather see one that made sense with a mixture of dealer and DIY services or just trust "I took really good care of it" when looking at a used vehicle?

Also, not every dealer participates in CarFax so it isn't just automatically there if you went there....

Had no idea…
