where did the VIN check forum go? I wanna check a number really quick

 

Carfax is cracking down and suing whoever that's sharing their account.

 

Carfax has been taking members and forums to court for running or allowing to be run carfax reports for people that don't have a carfax account.

So to protect members, we made it invisible until they change.

besides, are you that cheap that you can't pony up $25 for a carfax?

 

yes, yes I am, because free means I can put that $25 towards gas in the new car

and how can it be illegal? people are paying for the service, they are entitled to use that service how they want to

 

Carfax wants all the money.

 

When you get a carfax account part of the TOS says you agree to only run VINs for your personal use only.

So it is my understanding that several members that asked for free carfaxs got bills on one forum (Maxima or something Nissan) and many forums got cease and desist letters in allowing carfaxs.

So we took a proactive approach and hid the section until it blows over and close down threads asking for them so that our members don't get billed by Carfax.
