I'm sorry, but even those that have "unlimited" Carfax accounts can ONLY use those accounts "personally".
It would be against Carfax Terms of Service to run the VIN for you.
Excerpt from Carfax legal disclaimer:
"CARFAX and its affiliates and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark and other applicable intellectual property laws. You may not modify, publish, transmit, display, participate in the transfer or sale, create derivative works, or in any way exploit any of the Content, in whole or in part. "
I don't mean this disrespectfully, but even dealers have to pay for Carfax & Autocheck full reports.
***************
You should ask the SELLER of this vehicle to provide the reports,
If there is nothing to hide, the seller can & should run the report, make it available to potential buyers, & absorb the fee.
***************
I/We consider that a cost of doing business & it protects BOTH the buyer & seller.
Carfax & AutoCheck companies are NOT non-profit organizations. They charge for their research results & rightly so....They do not allow paying users to run results for non-paying users.
AGAIN- no disrespect intended!
They just don't allow it.
And a person could get in trouble (legally) for doing it for you.
I am Sorry

Is that supposed to be Mercedes Benz VIN#... If it is, chances are it will have some wrong digits... MB VIN's should be 3 letters followed by 7 numbers then one letter and then 6 numbers - making the VIN total 17 digits in length...
Good Luck
