Carfax please!?
I need a carfax report on VIN 1G2WP1212VF351356.
Anyone with an account that can help, it would be apprectiated. Thanks.
Well thanks, but I was looking for the actual report. I don't want to pay 30 bucks to use it just once, I already bought the car and there is some damage I want to find out about.
Uh, just mail it to me. Noone will ever know.

There are no free sites.
I'm sorry, but even those that have "unlimited" Carfax accounts can ONLY use those accounts "personally".
It would be against Carfax Terms of Service to run the VIN for you.
Excerpt from Carfax legal disclaimer:
"CARFAX and its affiliates and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark and other applicable intellectual property laws. You may not modify, publish, TRANSMIT, display, participate in the transfer or sale, create derivative works, or in any way exploit any of the Content, in whole or in part. "
I don't mean this disrespectfully, but even dealers have to pay for Carfax & Autocheck full reports.
***************
You should ask the SELLER of this vehicle to provide the reports,
If there is nothing to hide, the seller can & should run the report, make it available to potential buyers, & absorb the fee.
***************
I/We consider that a cost of doing business & it protects BOTH the buyer & seller.
Carfax & AutoCheck companies are NOT non-profit organizations. They charge for their research results & rightly so....They do not allow paying users to run results for non-paying users.
AGAIN- no disrespect intended!
They just don't allow it.
And a person could get in trouble (legally) for doing it for you.
(& they could get in trouble with Yahoo! for posting that which is illegal to post.)
I am sorry

YOU CAN ALSO GET FREE INFORMATION BY CALLING THE MANUFACTURER AND ASKING THEM. ALL YOU WILL NEED TO TELL THEM IS THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BUYING THE VEHICLE GIVE THEN THE VIN AND THEY WILL PULL EVERYTHING THAT THEY HAVE ON FILE THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED.
ALSO REMEMBER THAT IF THE VEHICLE IS ANYWHERE NEAR A COASTLINE HAVE IT INSPECTED FOR FLOODING, I HAVE SEEN TOO MANY OF THESE VEHICLE GET PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE THEY WERE CLEANED UP VERY GOOD AND THE CUSTOMER GOT THE RAW END OF THE DEAL.

What about a violation of the TOS of Carefax do you not understand? Don't be so cheap...pay the money and get your own membership. And....Don't bother calling the manufacturer like one responder has said. It is not going to get you any information. He seems to think his "canned answer" works for everything.
