Sure, you can get a Carfax report, but I wouldn't spend the money.
If you want to be sure the title is "clear", ask to see it. If there is a lien on the vehicle, it will be shown in the appropriate space on the title. If the title is a Salvage or Rebuild or Bonded title, it will say so on the title.
If there is a lien shown on the title, but the seller has a lien release from the lender, then it is a clear title. When it is transferred, the lien will go away.
