Question

is there any way to get a free carfax without getting it thru a dealership?

Answer 1

There are several sources for car history

- State DMVs. Very slow to respond. They only have details on registrations and brands - when a car has major damage a brand is added. Also, they will only have data for one state - if the car has moved they can't help you. Fees vary by state.



The best source is Carfax. They collect data from over 8000 sources - and still they don't have everything. However, it's the most comprehensive source.



For free - since it costs the DMVs and Carfax - nobody provides it for free.



When dealers buy Carfax reports they pay a price that allows them to redistribute the report - so ask the dealer. You'll find thousands for free on Cars and AutoTrader.



The consumer unlimited account specifically states reports can not be distributed/shared as you requested. If caught, the account holder will be charged $19.99 per report. At 25 bucks for one month it is a deal!

Answer 2

No, unless someone pays it for you. You will not find any site providing free Carfax report.

I must agree Carfax is expensive that's why I used other alternatives. Check this site for

Answer 3
