They are worthless. A weegee board would be more helpful.

A carfax report will only tell you if something was reported. If the vehicle was involved in a minor fender bender and the insurance was not involved it won't show up.

When we were looking for the 01 that I have now, we looked at a 2wd. Really liked it then my husband noticed that on the passenger side there was some overspray on the rear leaf springs, upon closer investigation he saw that the inner fenderwell had been repainted (badly), along with a couple other places where you could see body damage repair. The dealer did a carfax but nothing came up. Did not feel very safe not knowing what happened.

Yeah those things are nothing more that a waste of money and time. Like stated before, they don't show anything unless it has had a report filed through an insurance company or a police report. I looked at Chevy one time that had obviously been wrecked ( paint was no where close to matching ) and the Carfax report was clean as a whistle!!! It's a stupid gimmic to give poor people a false sense of security when buying a piece of junk. Dealers should all be BURNED!!
