How much do car dealers charge to run a car fax?

Answer 1

Nothing. Dealers do it free if you are buying a car, or are interested in a car. But they won't run a Carfax on a vehicle you already own just for your own use to see the car's history. If you want a Carfax for your car go to the Carfax site and it costs $40

Let me add... I did a test of CarFax and I think you can use it but don't trust it! I had a car that was in a major accident and fully repaired by the dealer (factory authorized dealer) and about three years after that I paid for a Carfax Report, for that specific VIN number, and the results said zero REPORTED problems. There was over $7,000 of extensive repairs done to that vehicle. So don't trust it as the final determining factor. Even the advertisement says..."As reported to Carfax..."
