cars accident history details?

[taylor414ce2003]

I am wondering how do you get a complete vehicle accident history report? the FREE car fax only tells me that the car was in a crash and not what the damage is, or do I need to buy the full report?

If anyone could run this vin # you would be helping me out huge ,thanks and sorry it is not a lincoln

You will have to purchase a full report to get the details needed. But remember that only reported accidents will be there. I do not know how many cars I have seen or visited that had obvious repair but never showed up on a Carfax report. And most state police departments that I have dealt with before will not fill a report out if it is under $500.00 by observation.

My infiniti's accident showed up on the carfax right away, while the autocheck didn't show anything 2 months later.
