8 records for a 21 year old car isn't a lot. My 1991 Ford Probe that I bought new and sold in 93 had 9 records when I had a free report a few years ago. No accidents.

 

If you're spending more than a few grand it's worth the 35 bucks if you can't get it free.

Not what you are looking for, but not a bad resource.

I check that an it came up as non totaled and non stolen. Are those the only two things that normally come up through that site? I've never used it before.

Go to Carfax.com enter the VIN and hit start. The first few are usually the dealer and every time it sold it got one. There are also periodic insurance reports and registration reports. Serious accidents are typically at least 2 reports(police and insurance) and disabling accidents can be more if the vehicle was rebuilt from scratch. No hard and fast rules here. Someone could have rolled the thing in the woods, towed it home without a police report and fixed it himself.

I just ran my 2002 Isuzu, 7 records. No accidents

My 2008 Subaru, 9 records, the first 5 of which where on the car before I bought it.

 

8 records for a 21 year old car is normal/low, specially if it has had more than one owner.

If you're spending more than a few grand it's worth the 35 bucks if you can't get it free.

 

 

I could not agree more.. I would say its worth it even if only spending around a grand.. even though its not PERFECT a little extra piece of mind at around $30 is really worth it..

Anyone?? If not then I will cough up the money and get my own tonight...figured I would ask an see if there was anyone on this forum that has access.

Just wanted to let people know I paid for one month of Autochecks. They advertise that it checks deeper into a cars history then carfax etc etc....I just liked that I got a month of unlimited checks for less then a 5 carfax package! Ended up buying a new commuter car as well.
