Unless you are buying the vehicle from a dealership that offers a free report, then you must pay for it............consider it a cheap form of "insurance" that the vehicle is not a piece of junk !!

Some dealerships offer this service when you buy one of their cars, but this is a commercial product so you can expect to pay if you want the report... Also you should know that if the car has never been in a major accident, or had major repairs at a dealership, then it may not even show up on the report... Just because you pay for the report doesn't mean that there have been no repairs/wrecks, only that none have been recorded for the car... there is some value in the report for some cars, if the seller tells you that he has had it serviced at the dealer's since new, and had some repairs done at the dealership, then those should show up...
