How to Get Free Carfax Reports

Carfax is a commercial Internet-based business that provides vehicle history information to the public and private sector. The company bundles together all information available on cars, organized according to their VIN. You can look at some reports such as the "Lemon Report" for free on its website, but for the very thorough reports, usually you have to pay. Most people get them for free by making the seller of the car, usually a dealership, pay for the report. There is however, a way to get a free report from carfax.com.
