For the first time, consumers can compare the future Reliability of specific cars they might consider buying, CARFAX said today.*
“This marks an important milestone for CARFAX and for the people who rely on our data every day,” said Paul Nadjarian, Chief Product Officer at CARFAX. “With over 151,000 data sources and more than 35 billion records, we’re introducing a powerful new insight into a vehicle’s lifecycle. Much like a crystal ball, our future Reliability will help shoppers understand the road ahead, including what repairs to anticipate and what they may cost, and soon, insights into how long that car will last – empowering consumers to buy with confidence and help them plan ahead.”
Future Reliability now appears prominently at the top of the CARFAX Report as part of a newly redesigned header that presents a vehicle’s story at a glance through three powerful lenses: Past, Present, and Future.
- Past: Detailed ownership, service, and damage history for that specific vehicle
- Present: History-Based Value based on the vehicle’s unique VIN-specific history
- Future Reliability: Insights only CARFAX can provide, helping consumers understand future dependability, needed to help them confidently choose the right vehicle
