Sorry to burst your bubble guys, but CarFax got wise to people abusing the "Unlimited reports for 30 days" deal so now you only get ONE for $35 or FIVE for $45, shit is gay but I doubt anyone who forks out the cash for the service is going to burn one of their reports for someone else...

I understand doing away with unlimited for a whole month, but for $45 you should get unlimited for a week or at least get 15-20 reports. I mean who only looks at FIVE cars when in the market for a "new" used vehicle??

The CarFax subscriptions are intended for people who do not do it for a living (there are other subscriptions for that), and instead for those who are shopping for cars in classifieds sold by individuals. If it's at a dealership, there is a whole campaign to "ask for the CarFax" there, so you don't have to pay out of pocket.

When shopping around for vehicles, I narrow it down first, then look at the CarFax. Only had to run 2 reports for each of 2 purchases.

$45/5 = $9ea, and that's not bad at all for the reports.

Having worked for Carfax, I can attest that you are absolutely correct. People were gaming the system, so the system changed. C'est la vie.
