Does anyone have unlimited Carfax or Autocheck? I am looking at a 2002 Corvette, #1G1YY22G025129050.

I know I am being cheap, but Carfax is $39.....

Thanks

You can't completely go on what's on the Carfax. Independent garages do not always report.

I generally use CF to find out where the car has been and how many times it has changed hands.
If a car was in a flood area during the time of the flood and shows up on the market shortly thereafter, that is usually a warning sign.
Too many auctions and/or dealers in a row is another red flag.
Buying a car like a Corvette is usually a good idea to have it professionally checked out.
