One free Carfax
 
Only one vehicle check though...although I'm sure with multiple email and mailing addresses you could work around that. :D

Clicky

Works for Canada too...although the report I did on my car wasn't exactly accurate...

Aw that sucks. Really wanted to check a VIN though.

Doesn't work for me either :(

Yeah, I just tried it about 20 mins ago and it goes back to the main page. Must have been a limited time promo...

I probably wouldn't trust Carfax with a Canadian car anyways - especially when there's plenty of other better options. Personally, I used this when I bought my car.

When I checked my car it said there were no accidents on my car when I know for a fact there is one accident from 2 years ago.

imo carfax is useless,
I had some leftover checks a while ago so I did some of my buddy's VIN's every single one came out clean even a few cars that had around 5 decs on the ICBC report.

Carfax for some reason doesn't show accident's. Only shows new owner reports and registration renewal. Useless.

Inaii 09-21-2009 11:28 PM

It only shows it if it's been reported to ICBC apparently. So if it's settled privately, it won't show up.

It doesn't. My friend's car got into accident last year 2 times and was reported to ICBC. It still shows up as no accident. Maybe has to be above $2500?

carfax is mainly for american cars... its pretty useless for canada. for canadian cars i use CarProof, it goes across canada, and shows everything
