CarFax reports --- not totally "free" but cheap :)

Thanks!

 

Carfax > Autochecks

 

But Carfax reports cannot be taken as absolutely correct. When I was going to buy my 328, I checked the Carfax and it said that the car had never been in an accident. Since then, three separate technicians in different businesses have told me that the right-front corner of the car had obviously been repaired after an accident.

 

yeah, but was it claimed ? was it fixed privately ?

 

Exactly it's a tool, the accident would have named to be at least claimed to their insurance otherwise it won't make it in a carfax, just as if the cops were not called for a report it won't be on a carfax. Carfax reports public records its not like the car calls up carfax.

 

Link won't work for me. Tried it in Chrome and IE

 

I have a sneaky suspicion that they have an unlimited subscription and use that to get the report for people. If that is the case Carfax will be shutting them off, at least until they open a new account......just like the scammers on fleabay!

 

No worries. These sites don't typically last very long

 

Always do a PPI. I'm a dealer, and I still recommend that. Even though a Carfax can be clean, it doesn't mean that the car wasn't in an accident, never reported, and repaired out of pocket.

 

Might as well try this site as well, just got my vehicle report from VinAudit
for the same price using their discount coupon VinAudit.com - Carfax Report Alternative, Free VIN Check, NMVTIS Vehicle History
it's not a Carfax report, I will check on that site as well

 

Nah, it must be so frustrating. Of course, that's what business is, but checking up it's VIN is very helpful. I might have some luck as there has been no issues so far since I bought my Honda SUV. I tried VINaudit using their coupon VinAudit.com - Carfax Report Alternative, Free VIN Check, NMVTIS Vehicle History for the report and then I brought 2 technicians for final checkup and to test drive.
