And that remark is relevant because its funny you want to carfax a 16 year old car.
My fault. I didn't make myself absolutely clear for those people (you) that can't seem to understand the relevance of the topic:
We are talking about mileage.
OK, so can a Carfax report tell you a car's approximate mileage based on when it was titled and registered and renewed?
I'll go ahead and answer that for you from
my experience...
Yes, as I have seen on 10+ Carfax reports I have had run.
I couldn't give a flying flip what other information a "state lisence insurance adjuster" such as yourself gleans from the report. I'll repeat it:
We are talking about mileage.

I think one thing to keep in mind is that the guy selling it appears to be a car salesman, or is at least in the biz. This isn't the first time I've seen a salesman claim to sell a car for his 'relative,' so
buyer beware...
