Looking at getting my son his first car and have a hard time trusting what people tell me when it comes to the history of a car. I have got my eye on two cars right now but would like to be able to see any history on them. Any have access to Carfax and able to run a couple reports for me before I go take a look at them? Would greatly appreciate it. I can PM the VINs.
Anyone have access to run a Carfax report?

I have always found carfax to have worthless info...
If a shop does not report work done to the car (maintenance or collision) it won't be in the carfax. I bought a lease return which had a carfax clean slate, my bad for not noticing the tiniest of overspray couple weeks later wife scrapes a parking block and BAM bumper starts to fall apart and now few years later it's about to drag on the ground. Poor work never reported.

I run vin #s through the national insurance crime bureau (NICB). It's not an extensive search but will tell you if it's a salvage title or stolen and it's free but I think you can only run 2 or 3 vins in a 24 hour period
