I am looking to buy a used pickup truck from a private seller in New Jersey. I have been told the standard procedures to verify that a vehicle is being sold by its legitimate owner. (Title check, serial number comparison throughout the vehicle, carfacts, etc) What I am wondering is is there any way to verify for sure that the vehicle is not stolen. I am concerned about the possibility of some of the documents being fake. According to my understanding, the buyer of a stolen vehicle will loose it and also be charged with a crime even if there was an attempt to verify its authenticity befoer buying it. I sthere any way to legally certify that the research has been done on the vehicle before buying? i am more concerned about the criminal charges that could result as a result of the vehicle being stolen than I am about loss of the vehicle.
P.S. The carfacts report shows two owners, the most recent only having owned it for a month. The report from Checkthatvin.com shows one owner.
