A little odd for this forum, but if anyone has a subscription for either carfax or autocheck and could run a vin for me, I would be happy to pay a percentage of the subscription fee to avoid paying $25 to run a single vin myself.
 
Keep in mind that a carfax will only show reported issues that went through government or insurance companies. If someone had a crash and repaired it out of pocket with a 'friend', it will never show on the carfax, but will probably be very easy to detect by looking under the car and looking for paint where it should not be or components that appear to be of different ages.

I'll do it.
Pm me car info make model year Vin
 
Go Google "I found a working link to free autocheck" and the first reddit link should help you out. It worked for my car at least.

Car fax reports are more comprehensive and provides a significantly better insight because it includes things like service history and previous repairs done to the vehicle. There are no free carfax as far as I know. But a year ago people were getting free carfax by listing the vehicle they wanted to purchase up on eBay and had eBay automatically generate a carfax report. Maybe it still works? Who knows.
