I appreciate where you're coming from - that they should make a bona fide effort to disclose everthing, including doing a proactive search of service history. But consider that it is an overwhelmingly complex and difficult task for any dealer - including OEM dealers - to effectively and reliable aggregate this information. If dealers were to warrant that they did due diligence on every car, they'd be exposing themselves to litigation any time they missed something material. There are simply too many potential situations where the car could have had mechanical repairs/upgrades that would be completely untraceable for the dealer. Unless there was a clearing house for this, and
every car sale was held to standards thereunder, buying used cars is caveat emptor.
I suggest that the dealer doesn't know the car's true history, most likely because the owner told them outright that it wasn't raced. This is much more likely than thier willfully misrepresenting the car.
