Carfax report help

what's wrong with paying for it yourself?

I always wonder that myself, when this question is posted (as it is so often). If people can't afford the fee, how can they afford the vehicle?

The answer is yes. Someone probably could.

Hmm, No, they have money for beer, smoke, car but not for Carfax service.

Good point.

One should have priorities......!

If I could I would no prob.

I don't see the big deal, but frankly, a mass-posting to numerous groups is kind of irritating. I'm on an Audi e-mail list, with a large number of frequent posters, who have been part of the list for a long time. It's a real community. People ask for open Carfax accounts all the time, and we help each other out. I have had open accounts twice this year while looking for a car for my son, and I gladly ran VIN's for people from that community. I don't think I would from some guy posting on multiple groups, who I didn't recognize. Who knows, could be Carfax phishing for people misusing their service.

OTOH, Carfax charges a LOT to run one VIN - $24.99, if memory serves. It's only $29.99 for a 30-day window.
