This could also help me. My car had just been imported from the US when I bought it earlier this year. But I don`t know anything (nothing) about the previous owners. I have the names of a few of them but I don`t know who they were and what they did to the car. Would a car that hasn`t been registered in the US since 2009 still show up on carfax or a similar service? I know the car has been in a minor accident a long time ago. If the number we found on a shipping label on a part of the bumper is the printing date, then the car was crashed in 1986... But I`m not sure.
