I bought an '87 GN recently which turned out to have been reVINed as an '85. When I ran both VINs on CarFax both came back clean. It turns out that the '85 was wrecked in '92, and the '87 was stolen in '95. None of this turned up on CarFax, which gave both cars a clean history.
The Texas Department of Public Safety just took the car from me. The officer explained that the theft records are purged after 5 years, so if a car was stolen more than 5 years ago it's out of the system.
So when you do your CarFax checks you may not be getting the whole story...don't get burned like I did...
