Enter the last 7 of the VIN and you get all of the options as built.

I have been getting Carfax from someone I found in the services area of Craigslist.

if you don't know what the options are, how do you know what the car is worth and plan on putting down a deposit for this?

Spend the money and just pay for the Carfax report if it is important to you. Anyone that provides one can run the risk of losing their Carfax account as they would be violating the ToS.

Ya the same thing can happen if you record a NFL game without express written premission from the NFL !

Ummm, no. Recording the game is legal and does not violate any ToS. See Universal Studios vs. Sony Corporation of America

Is the carfax important to you? If yes, spend the money. If no, then don't worry about it. Fairly simple isn't it?

slow down, you'll go faster

do the research and THEN put a deposit down
