I don't know about checking title, but I can share that based on my experience, carfax information can be behind by a few years.
We had a new Audi that was nearly totalled a month after we took delivery. Took the body shop 4 months to repair it. When we sold it a year later, it had clean car fax report. No accidents on the report (even though the repair cost was over 100% the original purchase price of the car).
I also had a VW that was totalled in an accident. Two years later, I was contacted by the new owner of the vehicle. Apparently the insurance company sold it for scrap, some body shop bought it, fixed it up and sold it to the new owner. Carfax showed it was clean, and the title was clear (not salvage). Not sure how a totaled car could be sold with a clean title and no record of any accident in carfax. (The new owner contacted me to get the owners manual and second key. Not sure how he found my info).
So don't put too much faith in carfax reports.
