Doh! I used both Carfax and Autocheck before I bought the T/A. Ultimately I don't think those agencies are on top of everything anyway. For example, I've rear-ended someone TWICE in my '97 Z28 Vert and there's no sign of those reported accidents on either agency. Also, they have me listed as the original owner of the car when in fact I bought it used at 34K miles. Finally, my mom's '98 GT stang became mine in '02 but both agencies list me as the original owner?
Those reports don't hurt but I can't imagine that they help THAT much either...

I ran one on my car after I got it. My trade in for the car was a '97 mustang gt that was wrecked front, rear and passenger door. I payed a very good body shop cash to fix it right, they did a good job, I never got a reciept or anything the owner pocketed the money so carfax doesn't mean much to me, I know he didn't report anything.
