You don't have an equivalent ability to gain or check the information that the seller has, ever.
actually, as a professional researcher, I do...but that's beside the point...sensible people do their own leg work, and the there generally is no disparity between buyer & seller except, mebbe, need (my need of his vehicle vs his need for my money)
