LIsters, Carfax
and similar services are only as good as the reporting on the vehicles.
Many states don`t require reporting of all the problems that these
services claim to check history of. In other words, a "clean" report
means only that no problems have been reported- not that they don`t
exist. There is no substitute for careful inspection by a competent
person. A friend found this out the hard way- He bought a truck on eBay,
with a clean Carfax report, only to find later that it had a bent frame.
One good look at the underside would have revealed this.
