i got my VIN number and went to carfax and found out that you have to pay money to actually see the report. i was wondering is there a web site that i can check it for free?
well places like car fax could be nice haha
FYI car fax is hardly relavent after the purchase of the car.
For instance, the previous owner could have got in an accident and never claimed it with insurance and fixed it out of pocket. Turns out that happened to my friend's '06 STi he got a few months ago. Didn't find out about the previous accident untill his first oil change when the dealer put it up on the rack. Carfax checked out clean. Just goes to show ya. Get under there and do a proper inspection and it's better than carfax anyway....
not totally true. it provides good info on a car you are going to sell just in case the buyer runs a carfax. then there are no surprises and you don't appear shady.FYI car fax is hardly relavent after the purchase of the car.....
sorry guys i'm not at all trying to discredit the service. it's really great for what you pay. indeed. i'm just saying, you should always properly inspect the car with any purchase (or sale), in conjunction with a carfax i guess.
