If you're too cheap for the carfax you're too cheap for the car.

OK, using that logic, what would you do if someone didn't want to buy a s2ki membership. Would you post all their photos for them? What's your email address so people can send you their photos and you can upload them?
hmm....that's taking it to the extreme isnt it? The OP is asking for one carfax....not too big of a request if someone happens to have an account that's just sitting there.

He isnt listing 5+ VINS to be carfaxed and asking for more down the road.

If I had an account, I would be happy to help him out. But I don't

Man, quit jackin' the guy's thread. It's a Carfax, not a kidney. I've requested a few and ave been lucky enough to have my requests granted.

Don't worry carrera, someone'll get you one. If I wasn't so cheap, I'd get an account and hook you up.

It's actually illegal and against forum rules. I tried a few days ago and had my thread taken down.

same.. carfax is a rip off and only thing it's good for is checking number of owners.

you will lose the deal because you do not want to spend a few $ on a carfax account
this is what a dealer would say to get you to commit to their ridiculous scheme.

I always provide carfax report for the cars I sell, it's cheaper for me to keep a copy to print out to all inquiries rather than every potential buyer forking out $15 bucks.

Get the seller to provide you a recent carfax report.

Jeez didnt know I would stir up such a mess here. Thanks for the support, I hope someone is willing to help out. I already asked the dealer and they said they would provide something "similar" but I dont know if I should trust that.

The Honda dealer I went to last we showed me an AutoCheck report on an '04 S2000. Their reports also provides a score for the car.

When I was researching mine, I paid for an unlimited month and ran all of 4 VINs before I got my S.

I freely ran reports for people here and a few other forums while I had time remaining to help them out.

What else are you going to do with it?

It's not "illegal", it is just againt the carfax user agreement. You're not going to get arrested by the FBI because you asked for a carfax report.
