This is a nice board. I don't want to see anything bad happen to it. IMHO, they should ban these CARFAX threads as well as a CYA measure.

 

The dealership where I worked previously had a carfax account because the reportswere run on all the used cars. However, personal use of any kind was not allowed. I don't think anyone will be able to do what you're asking.
I'd just buy the report if you're that interested. There isn't much in the reports a savvy car shopper can't spot anyway. Just about anyone who works on vehicles can spot accident repairsor signs of flood damage.

 

Agreed. I think one of the most powerful things Carfax can provide (since you cant rely on it for accidents) is information regarding how long the dealer has had the car on the lot. If it's been there for a year, you would expect them to deal...

 

Carfax sells a 30-day unlimited subscription for $25. While I can appreciate that for legal/CYA reasons, you wouldn't want a Carfax thread on this site (or even any threads where someone gave Carfax reports) it generally doesn't cost anyone who has such a subscription to do an extra report or two.

I, for example, just ended a 30-day subscription today, so if it were yesterday that I saw the thread, it would not have cost me anything to do this. Today, OTOH...

Well, that's timing for you.
