Carfax
yeah carfax, autocheck isnt going to show up if someone just took it to a body shop and asked to fix the door. its nothing to worry about. someone might of just took it off......
NEVER trust carfax at all.
I personally bought a Honda Accord from a personal friend after having it repaired at the body shop the second time his daughter wrecked it. Each time she rear ended someone and the entire front of the car had to be replaced. That would be fenders, hood, lights, radiators, grill, etc. As one would think, this would be a pretty major repair.
I gave him 1500 for the car so that I can have something better on gas.
Not even a year later and after fixing little odd and end things on the car, I sold it for 5000. I pulled the carfax up and it had nothing about the 2 wrecks that I knew of personally on the car.
Another example is that my fiance used to own a used car lot. (never get into this business). She told me many times that she new other car lots that would buy cars that have been wrecked but not totalled at GREAT prices AFTER she ran a carfax on it and it would come back clean. They would then repair the car and sell it as if nothing ever happened.
moral of the story, Carfax is just another way for people to get your money!!!
