Default CarFax

Does anyone have access to run a Carfax report?
I've tried all the Google stuff and some other sites but everything wants you to pay for the full report

It's not that I'm cheap but if I do that as I look at multiple cars till I find what I like it will get very costly

Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks again for the link and I really appreciate it
but just a heads up
When checked with motosnoop it showed all was good with the car and last known mileage was 41k
The car shows 41k on odo but after looking at the car it was as if this car had like 200k on it
Here's the snafu
I had put a post on another forum also asking for help,
Somebody ran a carfax for me and carfax showed that in 2007 the car had 65k miles on it
That shows a big discrepancy and the visual inspection confirms it
Just thought I' share that so other guys check more than 1 sight

I signed up for carfax when I was shopping. It was about $35-$40 for a year. You can run 3 vin's BUT you can run unlimited plate numbers. So if you're looking at a private sale on cars with current tags it can be a pretty cheap tool.

Ok, good info
Problem with this car was it wasn't registered or insured. Fella selling car is out of CT, said he bought car out of MD and he never registered it before deciding to sell it
After looking at the car there was definately something fishy
I just hope somebody does the same research I did so they don't get scammed
