dealers and reports
Who knows, if all dealers run history reports on their cars, before putting on sale? Should I request it if I plan a purchase?

It is pretty standard now days for them to run a car fax and a repair history on used cars.
If you buy the same brand as they sell new they can access repair history for that vehicle that was performed by any "same brand" dealership

I bought several used cars from different dealerships, only 1 provided me with report (the car had a clean history), and each time I took the car to mechanic and bought myself a vehicle history report: trustvin.com/vin-base the range of prices vary but the data is almost the same vinleaks.com/en/vin-base epicvin.com maybe this will be useful. of course, much depends on dealer himself

Unless every repair facility reports what was done, the history report is not giving you the whole picture
Unless if all you are interested in is if it was in a wreck

If I alert on them and they get banned, do I get their Barn Bucks?
