so that you know...they aren't very accurate for Canadian cars. Better one would be to run a title check through the registry.

Don't know about CarFax, but Rondal is right....DO A TITLE SEARCH. I found out recently (through a process server) that my car had a lien on it and the bank had issued a directive to "reclaim the property".

Wound up being a mistake as the dealership had, in fact, paid off the loan, but makes for some stressful times when the repo man shows up.

carfax is a US based system, so it is a lot more accurate on US cars. There are a few canadian things that will update into the carfax registry, such as Aircare in BC, only stating the mileage however. There are a lot of shops however that don't pass along their info to Carfax. A title search should show any damage over $2000 that has been claimed on the vehicle

www.carproof.com Used it several times.

Disclaimer: Not sure how good it is with liens and such and take no responsibility if it's a lemon.
