Do you know anyone in law enforcement, insurance business, DMV od lic dept? Any of them can run the vin and check for you. If you know someone in insurance they can see if there has been any claims (accidents) with the vehicle. This only tells you if it has been wrecked but might include some previous owner info too. Or at least who it is currently reg to.
I have done that here with every used car bought and it has saved me from buying total loss/rebuilt cars. Keep in mind it is not a 100% accurate system. But it might help.
