My wife and I are looking to buy a used vehicle and I was wondering if someone with an active carfax account might be willing to run a VIN search? Thanks. Jon

I've said before someone could make bank off of having an active account, they could clear lots of cash. Charge 10 bucks a time and make quite abit.

CARFAX is NOT accurate.

Because not everyone who works on cars enters information into.



There is no requirement to do so.

Interesting info.  We ended up getting a decent vehicle without the carfax history.  The front axle needed to be replaced but for the money the price of the Jeep was right. Previous owner was an older gentleman who babied it fairly good.

yeah.  If you don't make a claim on a  wrecked vehicle and do the repairs yourself, it won't show up.  If you take it to a small time body shop, they certainly won't enter it in.  It's only a guide and nothing more.  Get a vehicle professionally looked at before making a purchase.
