carfax is honestly a crock. (my opinion). I had a car with 5 accidents and the carfax was clean. If someone is selling a car and you really want to see the carfax, ask them to provide it. Just realize it's not something you can base the car history from. Take it to an autobody shop and have them look at it. If you can't tell what's been replaced, they can. They'll see signs of repainted/replaced panels pretty easily.

It's my car actually I bought it used with like 5-900 miles I can't remember exactly and out of curiousity I put my vin # in on carfax and its saying there's 8 history reports but it doesn't tell you what they're unless you pay.

You can get marks on your carfax from dealership visits. It's not necessarily a negative mark.

Lol man 30 dollars and I get a report of dealer visits haha. I guess I should huhEven when the car was transfered from one dealer to another it will also show on the carfax. Don't be cheap and pay $30 for carfax report.

Yes. If it doesn't get reported, no history.
