Looking at a 993 in BC. Which is better, Carproof or Carfax? Thanks!

 

A PPI that measures paint thickness.

 

Leak down & compression test is a must.

 

Car Proof is better for Canadian vehicles. It's good to see if liens are on the vehicle. Any thing else is a crap shoot. If a vehicle was in an accident and the owner paid for the damages, it may not show up on the report.
I used Car Proof when I bought a car in New Brunswick.
A ppi is a must.

 

I think carfax shows both Canada and US and is more detailed. I think car proof only shows Canada and misses some stuff (less detail).

 

Thanks guys!

 

Rennfax, then Carfax/proof/PPI

 

Carproof > carfax:

Carfax and PPI

 

Yep...looking for a Rennfax for hire currently.

 

where is the car? Pm if needed...uncle lives in Vic...

 

It's in Kelowna, but thanks for asking. That would be a hike for him!

 

Carfax is what I use.

 

That article is 3 years old. Carfax has VASTLY improved in the last couple years, even for Canadian vehicles. Carproof is still the standard in the used vehicle industry in Canada, but Carfax might include some less-than-important information like dealer services. Definitely get a carproof, but if you really want to be thorough get a carfax as well.

But as said above, the PPI trumps all.

 

Thanks all!
