Title: Carfax
Post by: ratfink on April 01, 2009, 01:58:52 pm

Why doesn't the club purchase a carfax subscription for it's Members? Seems as though it would be of great benefit,,any interest?

I don't know what the yearly cost would be.  Any ideas?  I haven't heard of many of our members who've wanted CarFaxes, but we can put it up for a vote.

I'll do a survey in the CLUB BUSINESS section.  Make comments and replies in that section, only.

We had an account at 1 time.  Free to members and we sold searches to non members.  It was used only couple of times and there were only a couple of outside purchasers.  We had an AutoChek account at the same time. Same result.  Wasn't worth it.

How much does a Carfax subscription for the club cost?

Back then, I think it was somewhere in the $60 range with a limited number of hits per year.  I kept a file of the reports of every carfax I ran for someone and it wasn't many.  I ran several for a couple of cars the club acquired and might have run a few for members.  I think there may have been 2 or 3 that we charged a small fee to outside requests.  I remember one was for 87BlueGT down in Florida when Hurricane Charlie destroyed his Suburban.  He found 1 in Atlanta and I ran the check and went to inspect it for him.
