What are you looking for? Salvage title maybe. Other than that, unless the place actively reports it, I doubt it is of any use. So say my bodyshop found the frame needs to be straightened and we do it but they don't report it, it won't show up.

Default Carfax

I'm going to be putting her up for sale soon, I'm curious what a buyer might find.

Have you tried your local friendly dealerships yet? Sometimes if you approach them with your VIN, they might.

have you opened a mycarfax account? allows you to put your own vehicle in and see records at no charge. BTW they don't validate the email you use. I'm not sure it shows everything though

I can run your license plate for you... Shoot me a PM with e-mail...I'll run it and download the PDF for you and send it to ya... I used it to buy my car.... Found a ton on craigslist that I was tempted to settle on and then I used Carfax on pictures with the plate showing...

Oh, to be clear the unlimited Car-Fax is that it's unlimited to look up with Plates... you only get 5 VIN lookups.... I only have 2 left...LOL As I was looking up some dealer stock...

I would not buy a car without a Carfax. sure there are ways to hide things from it but if it had enough dollars in damage it was most likely turned in to insurance. better to know it has a clean Carfax so there are no surprises when its your turn to sell it.

Carfax will show some stuff youd never guess even from the proverbial older original owner man did I get an eye opener awhile back never woulda guessed, people will lie like a **** to sell you something

KNow that Carfax does not tell all accidents even if there was a police report or insurance claim. Gives a little insight

Not all fender benders render a car bad its said most cars avg one every 4 yrs.

carfax is a "guide". You still have to look heavy at the car...sometimes they will even miss an owner. Carfax said mine was only 2 previous owners but after looking hard at the paperwork that came with the car I discovered that it had 3 before me. Didn't bother me at all...I still love my car...just says that it's not foolproof.
