There are no free sites.
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.
(& they could get in trouble with Yahoo! for posting that which is illegal to post.)
I am sorry

NO there are not. Just pay the money and stop being so cheap. OK smarts....you can try the bad advice UCANTCME is peddeling and see how far it gets you. Or...you could get a prepaid card from your local grocery store and use it if you actually want the information.

You can go to any grocery store of drug store and buy a VISA giftcard - than you can buy the Carfax report.

You can get a free report at nicb.org but the data is limited if you need a
complete vin check and don't want to pay $40 then try cheap alternatives.
You can get a $4.99 report here: http://www.vinaudit.com/coupon=Y_50OFF

NO BUT......................
YOU CAN ALSO GET FREE INFORMATION BY CALLING THE MANUFACTURER AND ASKING THEM. ALL YOU WILL NEED TO TELL THEM IS THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BUYING THE VEHICLE GIVE THEN THE VIN AND THEY WILL PULL EVERYTHING THAT THEY HAVE ON FILE THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED.
ALSO REMEMBER THAT IF THE VEHICLE IS ANYWHERE NEAR A COASTLINE HAVE IT INSPECTED FOR FLOODING, I HAVE SEEN TOO MANY OF THESE VEHICLE GET PASS INSPECTION BECAUSE THEY WERE CLEANED UP VERY GOOD AND THE CUSTOMER GOT THE RAW END OF THE DEAL.

If the information you are looking for is beneficial to you, why wouldn't you be willing to pay for it? It costs money to collect the information, so why should a company give it away?

If you are looking at a car sold by a dealership they will give you one for free.
