Having seen various requests for someone to run a carfax report here and at bimmerforums, it occurs to me that it could be easier for the folks willing to provide the report to find the requests. So, I propose that a thread, perhaps this one, become a central place to look if you're willing to run a carfax report for someone. My question is... should the actual report be posted here, or e-mailed? Personally, I prefer to e-mail or PM the report because I don't want everyone in the world (including carfax) to know that I'm running reports for other people. And I don't want to get requests via e-mail months/years after my subscription has ended.  So, my proposal is that if you need a carfax report, post the VIN and an e-mail address here, or at least enable people to send you e-mail via your profile. Once you have received the report, you should post a note here. Of course if there is something in the fine print of the carfax terms of service, or this breaks a rule of this site... um... forget I mentioned it.  __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

i request them all the time, I will admit it. Roadrash has run quite a few for me But as far as a dedicated carfax thread goes, I don't think that carfax will appreciate that too much.....not much at all. -chris __________________

Roadrash- sure this is not a clever scheme to have all available cars pass through your hands? What if I sent you a juicy '99 Black M series for 5k??  Seriously, how much is a lifetime subscription? Maybe we can pool support $$ and have that be a perk of being a supporter? (please ignore the lack of script red type that says "site supporter", that will change  ) __________________

A carfax account is for individual or company use. Lookups are probably better done privately. __________________ ...steven
