    Default Carfax a vin#

    Anyone here have the ability to run a carfax for a vin by chance? I know it is a long shot but figured I would try.

    2007 Dodge Caliber? Meh. I wouldn't. But then I am not a fan of the Dodge or the Caliber.

    carfaux is a joke.
    my salvaged Blazer is proof.

    remember, it only reports to you what is reported to them.
    and nothing is reported to them doesn't mean it didn't take swimming lessons after being stolen and get a junkyard engine.

    It's only good if the vehicle has any claims on it.It wont tell you much otherwise.
    Same thing with running the vin with the dealerships.Just tells you what waranty repairs and recalls have been done..

    My old Tacoma was wrecked a minimum of 3 times and nothing appeared on Carfax.

    I always wondered what the allure of Carfax was. Looks like my question has been answered.

    We did a focus group of buyers and non buyers from our group in December and the overwhelming number of them said they put no faith in Carfax.

    Yet every person who walks through the door asks for it. People are conditioned to take it as gospel.
