I honestly think they are a scam.
Carfax is useful if you can see through the bull**** and understand that stuff like service information and accident reporting on there will not be in any way accurate.

It will tell you however the origin of the car, where it's been registered and driven for certain time periods so you can determine for instance if it was truly a florida car, etc. You can also figure out if the car keeps changing hands (a good indication that it's a piece of garbage). You can verify that it's a one owner car if advertised that way. You can also check for total loss odometer problems, etc.

It is USEFUL. The scam is how they advertise it. I think someone should probably get a class action suit together at some point against them because it's verrrrry scammy.
