Carfax Reports
Attach a Carfax Report to an Evaluation
Surfacing the history up front is what keeps a declared accident from affecting your number after signing. Attaching a Carfax report takes pasting one link.
Paste a Carfax report’s link onto the evaluation. Your wholesalers then get a clickable “Open Carfax Report” when you send the unit, so they read the full history themselves.
Step 1: Get the Carfax report link
Open the Carfax report for the vehicle and copy its link. This is the URL your wholesalers will open to read the full history at Carfax.
Step 2: Paste it onto the evaluation
On the evaluation, paste the Carfax link . Vehicle Fair Trade keeps it on the unit, so it travels with the evaluation when you send it. Vehicle Fair Trade does not rewrite or summarize the report. It holds the link and surfaces it to your buyers.
Step 3: Wholesalers open it from the unit
When you send the unit, your wholesalers get a clickable “Open Carfax Report” and read the history themselves. The same link shows on the unit’s public view. They price the car with the history in hand, without screenshots or follow-up messages.
FAQ
How do I attach a Carfax report?
Copy the report’s link from Carfax and paste it onto the evaluation. That is all.
Do wholesalers see the report?
They get a clickable link to open it directly at Carfax, so they read the complete history themselves.
Does VFT read or summarize the report?
No. It keeps the link on the unit and surfaces it to buyers. They open the original report at Carfax.
Why attach it before sending?
So declared damage is on the table before the offer, not after signing. For why that protects your number, see the Carfax overview.
What does declared damage do to the offer?
As a rule of thumb, wholesalers deduct about a third of the declared damage amount. Surfacing it up front avoids a dispute at delivery.
