Default CARFAX Request

I believe this is allowed now... Can someone with unlimited access run a CARFAX on a vehicle I am considering purchasing as a daily driver?

PM me please if you can so I can send you the VIN and my email address.

Thanks in advance.

As I discovered today, Autocheck is not a thorough as Carfax. You get what you pay for in this case.

Just be aware that CarFax is not 100%. $18k damage to my C5 and it had a clean CarFax when I traded it a year later.

Several rules were removed in May of last year. They were not posted as to which ones were deleted, so some forum members didn't know about some of the deletions.

The most popular deletion was the rule against drag racing. Forum owner Internet Brands allowed it on their other forums, so they asked for it to be deleted here.

Just go here if you want to see what the current guidelines and rules are.

Thanks for the link. I remember the flap over discussing street racing but didn't know there were any other rule changes.
