I don't, but if you are looking at cars the $35 bucks is well spent. I know that when I was shopping for a car I made the unwise decision of not getting the unlimited report. Instead, I paid the single report price about 4 times.

I would recommend just purchasing the Unlimited Report on your own, since you will likely need to serch on more than one vehicle.

I was asking for my sister.. she said the report was going to be $25.. (a little much I thought for one car) not knowing unlimited was only $30.. your right, that is a deal. I will just suggest for her to do that, as I will soon be looking for a car too. I guess its always a good thing to have.. That $30 could save you thousands!

I am pretty positive that's an illegal question to ask....
Asking this on car sites will get you banned. I don't see why the same wouldn't apply here.
Just drop the $35. It's money well spent.

Copy and pasted from the customer agreement that must be agreed to by the purchaser of the Carfax report:
This 30 day Unlimited CARFAX Reports Plan is valid for 30 days from the date the first report is run, and is intended for my personal use only.
