Buying a new vehicle, dont want to pay CarFax prices?


Recommended Posts

Ive been vehicle hunting for about a month now and and these 3 sites have came in very handy, 2 of which are free and even more detailed!

Im sure by now many people know about Carfax and other similar sites such as AutoCheck, but you also know the steep cost to run a VIN using these type of sites and if your shopping around these can add up quick!
Now days most dealerships will give you a free CarFax or AutoCheck report on their website for used vehicles, but this is not always the case and hardly ever if your buying from a private party.
Some people really like and trust Carfax, but at $39 for a single vehicle report, $59 for 5 vehicle reports, or $69 for unlimited reports is getting pretty expensive, so here are some alternatives!


The 1ST one is http://www.autovin.de/

A single Carfax report is a 1 time paypal payment of $4.15, you can also add additional reports such as AutoCheck for another $4.15.

These are huge savings if you want an actual Carfax or AutoCheck reports but down want to spend $39+ per report.

 

The 2ND one is https://www.vehiclehistory.com/vehicle/land.php

Its free and works great, simply click "Click here to get free report" enter the VIN and info galore!

 

The 3RD one and most detailed one is https://www.mycarfax.com

You will have to make a free account which takes seconds to enter your email address and a password.
Once your account is created you can add up to 8 VINs in your garage, and delete ones you no longer need.
This service is also completely free, but the best part is where CarFax just says a vehicle was serviced and provides no actual service info, this site will give you actual service info, such as if the vehicle had brakes done, timing belt, wash/detail, oil change etc.
 

Between Research.com and mycarfax.com there is no real reason to ever pay to run a VIN again, especially when you are getting back more detailed reports for FREE!

These 3 sites have been helping me greatly recently, so I figured I would pass this along to anyone else that maybe looking at used vehicles.

That last link works pretty good thanks man 

That's why they don't deliver.

Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait.

You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start :D

I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.
