My 1986 van was ROLLED OVER and completely written off about 10 years ago... 
I ran a carfax on the VIN and it came up CLEAN!

I've done about a dozen searches (gotta love the freebies) and I've never 
seen a single report of an accident or writeoff, and I know for a fact that 
at least three had major damage at one point.

It may be better in the US, but for Canadian searches it doesn't help much.
