Cool.
Just out of curiosity, what kinds of information shows up on a carfax report? I've never seen one.

I would not trust carfax to show every oil change. What if he changes his own oil like many of us do? I look at carfax mostly for accidents and oddometer correctness, but not routine maintenance.

i thought the same thing, but i found out my car was off a lease, and generally that means that they cover the oil changes free at the delearship...
