After several months of looking for a better vehicle I finally decided that I had to do something-after the brakes failed on my Ranger. Trying to find a truck of any size or vintage has been a challenge, and I gave up on Ford after driving 50 miles to the dealer... only to find that contrary to what I had been told an hour earlier, they did not have the style Ranger that I'm looking for on the lot.
Yesterday I drove 170 miles and put a deposit on a slightly used 2018 Colorado, then decided after the fact to run a Carfax which indicated "Damage Report to passenger side in April 2019".
I asked the salesman about it and he said CarFax really isn't that accurate, and geared more toward private sales.
I'm still going through with the deal, I like the truck and have better things to do than drive all over trying to find something to buy. I was just wondering what other's experiences are.
