Question

Are there any real free carfax type websites?

Answer 1

If you are looking for the history of a specific vehicle - than there are no free sites. Nobody is going to collect all that data - 20,000 sources for Carfax, pay for all the computers to run the site and all the employees to run the computers - and give it away for free.

Sellers can buy a vehicle history report and share it with you!  On cars.com, on AutoTrader.com and on many other sites you will find dealers who have run Carfax reports are providing thousands of reports "free to you."

Many dealers also provide these on their own web sites.

Also you can visit carfax.com and look under Find a Car and they show the reports that dealers have already paid for.
