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 20,000 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.
