In your opinion and experience(if you have used both), which product seems to be more accurate in reflecting the "true" history of a car?

Thanks in advance for your time!

Experian's product will find more accident results than the Carfax offering.

I have used both,

They are very similar to credit reports. not a lot of "true" history there either. ohmy.gif

I agree with Marv in terms of them being unreliable. I have first hand seen countless issues of carfax being wrong. It is honestly a waste of money. You just need to find someone that really knows cars to check it over before you purchase it. Definitely don't put blind trust into a carfax report.
