Carfax???

[Zogman]

Anyone ever use it?
We are looking for a good used car for our youngest daughter.
She is a Ford person. Thinking of a Ford Edge. Something similar. Nissan Rogue, Toyota Rav 4, Subaru???
Appreciate any and all ideas. Thanks in advance.

Make the dealer pay for it, absolutely i used it and imo it shoukd be part of the dealers responsibility to have it available and dealership worth its salt will do it no question ask.

Subaru's are pretty good vehicles but nothing comes close to a well maintained Toyota. You can't kill them. I've had a couple of RAV 4's and highly recommend them unless you need to tow something heavy or haul lots of people or gear. My 2023 RAV 4 Hybrid will easily tow a 2000# trailer if it's set up right with electric brakes, sway control and a weight distributing hitch. I get 35-40 MPG around town and 32-36 at interstate speeds. Got 22 mpg pulling a 2000# pop-up camper back from Minneapolis but I didn't have electric brakes so I tried hard to stay at 65 but it kept creeping up to 70 on me. The RAV's brakes could handle the weight but I was worried about sway and trailer control. The standard issue RAV would probably get better mileage but I wanted the Woodland model because it had bigger tires and a slightly heavier suspension along with a few other accessories I liked. Problem is it's tough to find a late model Toyota for a reasonable price. You might as well buy a new one. The picture is my ATV trailer with my roof top tent mounted on a Harbor Freight ladder rack. The rig would have worked but there wasn't enough room in the RAV for all the gear I wanted to take along. I think it would have worked if I would have carried an E-Bike and a cargo storage box in the trailer instead of the 800# ATV.

I've used Edmunds.com a few times. Some Car fax reports, whether vehicle is listed below/above book.
That's where I found my current truck.

Put the word out to your friends and maybe they have a friend/relative that is wanting to sell their car. I have bought many cars this way.

Edmund's or Carfax?

Carfax won't show anything that hasn't been reported or done by a dealer or repair shop.
