About one month ago I put in a VIN and received information from the Carfax website that the VIN was legit. Today I purchased a report, put in the same VIN, and it states "wrong VIN number".
You cannot phone Carfax as a consumer. So I called as a dealer and was told that since I am a consumer, I must use the live chat feature of the website. So, 30 minutes later, I'm still waiting for a Live Chat agent.
I tried "Decodethis.com" and it showed the VIN to be legit.
Stay away from Carfax.
