This is the way I've used Carfax in the past:

- If there are a lot of issues reported on a car in carfax, then walk away. IE: it verifies anything negative.

In other words: If the carfax comes back clean, that doesn't necessarily mean the car is clean. But if a carfax comes back with problems (odometer mis-reads, car passing through lots of owners...etc) then I know to walk away from the car and search for another.

I would never buy a car based on a positive carfax report alone.
