“To my horror, the vehicle has been reported as TOTAL LOSS”

Kavish from Alberta writes*:

“I had shortlisted a car to purchase on Kijiji. The seller assured me that there was nothing wrong with the car. However they did not have a CARFAX Canada report. So, I asked for the VIN # and pulled a report myself. To my horror, the vehicle has been reported as TOTAL LOSS 2 years back and had been driven less than 2,000 KMs in the past 2 years. That CARFAX Canada report saved me profoundly. Thank you CARFAX Canada.”
