Does anybody know of a free website that does vehicle History reports?

Question

I dont want Carfax or any of those sites! I want something absolutely free

Answer 1

Most of the time, the commonly advertised Free Vehicle History Report is only a free record check that shows you the number of records they have on file. Then you are lured in to seeing what the records are all about. Usually the cost is  $15 for a one time report, or unlimited reports for 60 days for about $25. So it's not really a Free Vehicle History Report. The cost of a VHR is insignificant compared the to price of a nice used car. I know this from my own personal  experience. In 2002 I purchased a Ford Bronco from a Ford Dealer with an odometer problem. The truck also had an accident history. Unfortunately, I did not run my report until I started having problems. To make a long story short, the dealer took the truck back, but I was out some significant repair cost.

You can however, get a Free Vehicle History Report from many places. Many times the seller will run a report for you for Free. Once Carmax let me view one on screen for a vehicle I was interested in. Most dealerships and car lots will do this free of charge. Private sellers will do this many times. Think about it,  If you were selling a car that you knew was clean, wouldn't you spend the $15 if it meant a sell.

Some on-line loan institutions will give you a Free Vehicle History Report for the car you are about to finance. For some of them its a must. If you were an lender, would you want to loan money on a problem vehicle ?

Answer 3

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.
