Carfax didn't come up with the info on my van either... It came up clean & it has front end collision damage that was not properly repaired & I had to get it fixed. Then the damn engine gaskets went at 90K... Carfax is not a good one to use... Especially in Canada. They won't back up their lemon inurance either... IMHO - Its not worth wasting money on. Kat...
