Julia,
I felt like CarFax was worth it. Round up all the VINs first since you buy CarFax by amount of time. You don't get the full history of the car, but you get enough to know if some major happened, or if the seller is just jiving you. For instance, I was looking at a used 9-3 in early Jan. 2005, whose finish looked pretty trashed for the number of miles on it. CarFax showed that the car had been sold and sold and sold to different used car dealers, with little change in mileage -- like years of that. Even though the car drove fine, that made think uh-oh, and I kept looking.
...which led to doing this on our 99 9-5SE even though I knew it was a CPO car with some warranty left on it. I concur with AeroDave on model years too. As a lot of folks do, I shy away from first model year.
Good luck,
Phil
