EVERY time the registration was renewed in FL was reflected in the Carfax too.
While no subsitute for a through PPI, Carfax can be a useful tool in knowing detailed info on a vehicle.

in this case it matched your folio, thats a well maintained car/good owner. my last e46 had pretty decent carfax too, but the point I should have made/trying to make is that if its good, great, if its not good not great, and that even if it looks good, its potentially 100% anyways, so dont rely on it!
and OP - I'm just messing with you. No offense ment.
