Free alternative to Carfax, Autocheck, etc.?

Hi all, I’m seriously considering buying a Tesla MX or MS, and am looking at private party mostly because of the value and the transferable perks (for some models).

Question for you all: does anyone know of a reputable alternative to Carfax and Autocheck? Preferably free but I’m willing to pay as well.

Thanks in advance!

Why not pay for Carfax / Autocheck? If it’s free, it doesn’t give any information that you really want.
And you are buying a Tesla, do you REALLY want to cheap about $50 on a ~$50,000 car?

Find a friend at a dealer. They get unlimited Carfax reports if they are a subscriber.

More like $70k but point is well taken. Wondering if there’s an equal or better alternative - free would be great but I’m also willing to pay more if something is more reliable.

Time to redeem that favor. Thanks!

There are people on car forums offering to run carfax for $5 a pop. Search around.

Forget saving on carfax, what you really need is a thorough PPI.
