This may be only an Ohio thing. around 15+ years ago I traded trucks at a delership on a truck as being advertised as a one owner low milage truck. When I got it homa and had into garage as I knew it needed brakes but that would have been expected with the miles. And truck looked like milage would have been correct. When garage got into the brakes all drums were evidently turned way beyond leagal. With that I got to checking and at that time you could go to the local DMV and get information on last 3 owners and if you wanted to trace it farther back you could go to the state DMV and do it. I found out that the truck had went thru 2 dealers and a leasing company so the dealer I bought it from was lying about it being a one owner low milage truck. By that time I no longer had the weekly advertising paper the truck was listed in and none avabile so I was stuck with it. Truck was advertised as having 69,000 orignal miles, when I was able to get the title information found out speedometor had been turned over at least twice. This was a speodometer that only read to 99,999 mile. Forward to about 2013 I bought a van from a independant dealer no problems there and they told me they got it from the new car dealership as it was older than they wanted to keep on there lot. Did not bother me on that but I just wanted to find out wher the dealer got it from, went to the same DMV that got me the information on that truck. Now no longer to let any body know back owners of the vehical. Could not get where the new car dealer got it. So that could make getting a replacement title impossible. Only a good change in the law for people wanting to hide where a vehical came from so you could never find out if it had went thru a flood or anything like that.
