Matt, you were in the car business or soon to be out of it, right? Are you saying you didn't use Carfax?
It was a side gig, I quit in June. The only reason I checked the Carfax on a prospective purchase was because I knew how much the sheeple value it. Amazing how I can disclose that a car has prior paintwork, but if I advertise "clean Carfax" people really don't care. I never could determine if it was effective advertising brainwashing or just blatant ignorance.

I would say that probably half of the Carfax reports that I ran on cars were ultimately wrong when I inspected the car in person.
