Carproof is a lot more reputable than carfax as well but not free. That is gorgeous and the title wouldn't bother me a bit if the car is nice. It may affect the value somewhat to some but to me the quality of the car far outweighs something as minor as some clerk at registries' ticking off the wrong box. It's ridiculous it would receive a salvage title because it was stolen. How many cars, possibly including some of ours, were stolen or wrecked before they published these records. Love it and drive it like it deserves!
