Now the hardest part would be to find something worth getting even for free from Carfax.. they have horrible coverage for Canadian cars.

My car has changed hands something like 6 times according to them, in the period i've owned it.

I simply called them and asked for a refund. After an email and a phone call from someone, they gave me my money back and apologized for their service... I actually felt bad for the person who called for her job but whatever, too bad she works for a crappy company.

I was actually able to retrieve a surprisingly detailed vehicle history when I bought my car in July. All the other checks I did, however (I purchased the unlimited package) weren't as lucky.
