Carfax is very good for finding out the overall history of a car, especially as it moves state to state. I would highly recommend that you don't buy a car that has moved from one state to another, especially if it wasn't registered to an individual on the move. It is also good to look that the odometer reports, because you can spot times where the car may have sat for a long time not being driven. If that matched as a change of state, then you can almost be certain that the car was accidented or damaged in some manner.
DON'T BUY ANY LOUISIANNA STATE CARS! Hundreds of thousands of cars were flooded out in Katrina, and have been sold to out of state people who repair them and sell them at good prices. The water has totally fucked those cars, no matter how good the repair job.
Carfax isn't everything, but it is a tool amoungst others.
