Carfax, AutoCheck etc?

I am looking for a 90's Chevy truck that has been in the south or south west for the last 30 years. I am in Ohio, and will have to travel to look at any candidate vehicle. I have a 97 and it is rusted badly. There are no patch panel fixes for this.

So I would like to see a report that shows me where the car has been it's lifetime (not so much its service history). There is obviously Carfax ($100 for 4 reports) but they have competitors these days. AutoCheck ($60 for 5 reports limited to 21 days). So I will be looking for a vehicle that's pretty rare (30 years old with no rust). I don't think I will do that in 21 days and it will probably take more than 4 reports.

Anyone know of a different vehicle check company?

If you have a vin most states let you check the title. For free. You get some info from that.

I always used carfax.

The picture below shows a lot of information on titles.

Previous state was AR. Mileage is listed. Date registered. Etc.

So if you get a pdf of the title up front, you should be able to get some info. Then verify on current and previous DOT state sites.

Thanks. I'll give that a try. I'm looking for a late 90's 2dr Tahoe that isn't a rustbucket. I called about one today that is in Arizona but the guy bought it in Utah. I have a 97 that I bought in 2003 that was from North Carolina but 21 years of Ohio ate it up pretty bad.
