Check these Carfax type websites that promise vehicle stats. Most are scams. I sold a boat a while back and the first two inquiries I got were from guys wanting to me go to a website link they provided (different ones) and get a check run on my boat for damage maintenance, clean title, stolen etc...
I went and looked at them and both were listed as scam sites (10 out of 100 rating - 100 being best). I replied to the parties and sent them one I bought from an 18-year-old company with a 90 out of 100 rating. Both gave me the “I don’t trust sites I don’t know” spiel and said they would pay me back and pay my asking price for the boat if the report checked out. After I told them their site was a scam, one guy never contacted me back, the other tried to send me a “report” he got from his site. When I rejected buying one, he said, “you must not want to sell your boat”. I said not to you ass-—e. He didn’t respond.

I looked up my car that I traded in back in 2013 and it said I was the second owner. But I bought it new. What happened was that when I moved from Seattle to Kentucky, when I transferred my license to a different state it was seen as a sale.
