Ask the seller for it. Also, if there's a small local used car dealer, you might consider asking them. Sometimes the local guys are willing to be helpful around here.

Carfax only uses reported problems, such as from a mechanic and such, so it's not always 100% reliable

I saw a 20/20 a few weeks ago talking about how shit carfax is.

Reminded me of a friend who bought a car from enterprise with a clean carfax.
When he went to sell it, the carfax had 2 accidents AFTER his purchase 3 states away.

car fax does take i want to say 2-4 months to reflect things, their are a lot of dealers that sell cars with minor damage and fix them and flip them before that shows.
