call your local DMV office. I called them to make sure the title on my delorean was clean( even though it was in an accident I wanted to make sure it was clean for reselling purposes of course).. I called and asked them if they could check my title for any issues. She said no problem whats the VIN.. so I gave it to her and she said the title was clean with no red flags.

I did a carfax for the benz and it didn't help since not everything gets reported to carfax.



that damage on my car wasn't reported at all when it happened 14 years ago... I knew this before I bought the car but It does have a clean title!

CARFAX has the same "come on" with a FREE check - then only to tell you they have some records and if you will pay they will tell you about them. It's just a hook like everyone else marketing on the web is doing.
