CARFAX vs. VIN Clarity
VIN Clarity vs CARFAX
CARFAX completely changed what it was like to buy a car when they launched in 1996. For the first time, consumers were able to easily purchase a vehicle history report online.
But now for many customers, a traditional CARFAX report may not be the best option. Most of the data is available elsewhere for cheaper. Check out the table below for a comparison between CARFAX and VIN Clarity.
