"Unlimited" carfax reports eh?

**blackhawk01** · 04-17-2007, 05:01 PM

Well I thought it would be cool for me to get this and use it well....

"I agree to pay a one-time charge of $24.99 (USD), plus applicable sales tax, according to my card issuer agreement. This 30 day Unlimited CARFAX Reports Plan is valid for 30 days from the date the first report is run, and is intended for my personal use only. Commercial use, resale and redistribution of CARFAX Reports is strictly prohibited and may lead to deactivation of my account and the imposition of additional charges for CARFAX Reports. I agree that my CARFAX Report purchase shall be governed by all the Terms and Conditions of use of the CARFAX Web Site."

Sooo...unlimited or not? Worth the 25 bucks?

Note: THIS IS NOT AN OFFER FOR ME TO GIVE YOU FREE CAR FAX REPORTS

They just do that to deter people so they get more money. Everyone does it anyway.

I got the unlimited offer. It was only five bucks more for unlimited reports. Good deal used it several times already. Pays itself off the second time you use it.

trust me, you'd know if i found out...

**third_shift|studios** · 04-18-2007, 06:02 AM

Honestly, i dont' think they are really worth it; the information i found out on a car that I owned barely reflected the reported knowledge i had on the car. I think you could find out more information by asking a dealer to run the vin on the car

**86 IROC-Z** · 04-18-2007, 08:25 AM

Yeah... the only thing carfax said about my car was the odo rolled over, but if you lift the hood you can tell its been in a front end wreck

**blackhawk01** · 04-18-2007, 08:36 AM

Did somebody report you to carfax? What do they do when you get reported?

Since you are distributing or selling reports you are in violation of this agreement.
Your account has only been turned off.
We reserve the right to charge 19.99 per report for these and/or additional violations - particularly if your postings/advertisements are not removed ASAP.

We look forward to serving you in the future for your PERSONAL car shopping needs with the purchase of single reports only.

I agree with you 100% on that. Sometimes I get online and would like to run reports on numerous cars and something like this would seem to limit people to doing that. What if your a small business and need to run reports on cars, what do you do then?

they probably have a business account that you pay extra for to run extra searches.
