There are several sources for car history
- State DMVs. Very slow to respond. They only have details on registrations and brands - when a car has major damage a brand is added. Also, they will only have data for one state - if the car has moved they can't help you. Fees vary by state.
The best source is Carfax. They collect data from over 8000 sources - and still they don't have everything. However, it's the most comprehensive source.
For free - since it costs the DMVs and Carfax - nobody provides it for free.
When dealers buy Carfax reports they pay a price that allows them to redistribute the report - so ask the dealer. You'll find thousands for free on Cars and AutoTrader.

There is no GOVERNMENT database for this information. Therefore the options are the commercial sites. There isn't any data that is maintained for free. if the government did it, you still would have to pay, only through your tax dollars.
The fee they ask is modest, and worth it. Even if you find a car with a clean history and buy the car, you have a good sense about it. If you find a car with a bad history, and you don't buy it, the $30 or so dollars you spend will save you how much, $2,000.00 to $6,000.00??
Pretty good deal!!

You will not find any site which can provide a complete free vehicle report. Even carfax has some missing info. You will need to pay for the report. Fortunately, there are cheap companies providing cheap reports.
I get mine from vinaudit for only $4.99 using this discount code I found online http://www.vinaudit.com/coupon=Y_50OFF

Nope, no freebies. Got to pay for that. Worth every penny, by the way!

Make sure you have the vehicle's VIN handy, you will need it.
