This might show how long it's been since I've wanted one, but apparently you can't buy unlimited carfaxes for a month anymore. That irritates me greatly.

I have a few cars I'm looking at, and I don't think the prices they are asking currently are remotely worth it.

You can with autocheck. I just used one and found it as helpful as carfax. Cheaper too!

I have used autocheck a few times now, works great. Carfax has jumped the shark IMHO

Yeah, you're now limited to only 5 VIN reviews in 30 days.

If you have an Android or access to one on the Google Play store there is an app called VIN Free, it seems to work okay though it won't work in every situation. I'd imagine Apple offers something like it, but can't confirm that.
