    I'm buying a used tacoma and feel like the seller is telling me the truth about its history, but I'd like to make sure. Could somebody run the VIN and give me the info that you'd find in a Carfax report. If you can run the VIN, comment and I'll PM you the VIN.

    Thanks

    Taking it to a place like lemon busters is also a good idea, I think it cost around $100.

    Amen. Get it looked at by a place like Lemon Busters, Carfax isn't perfect. Was an expose in the news about it last year. 60 Minutes I think.

    How much does a Carfax report cost? Think something like $25. Not to be harsh but if you cant afford that you probably cant afford to buy the vehicle.
