Nazgul,

Be wary of some of the Carcheck's they are often not worth the paper they are printed on and are most unlikely to capture data going back to the '70's.

Not all states report, participate or allow access to vehicle information, so you often don't get the full picture e.g. I ran a Carfax history on my '96 Dodge Ram truck prior to purchase, showing 2 owners, no prior losses etc. All was good until 6 months later when I changed insurance company and they said you do know that this truck has been the subject of 3 insurance claims. They were able to provide the dates and specific amounts of the claims, one for $17K! I filed with the class action suit against Carfax, but heard nothing....as they say 'Caveat Emptor'.
