Carfax is the biggest joke in the auto industry. Why do you think all the used Auto dealers love it? I had a serious accident (no serious injuries thankfully) in my old car and had it repaired at the dealership (Mitsubishi). When it came time to sell my car I was honest about the accident but one of the prospective buyers asked why it didn't show up on carfax, implying I must of had it repaired in a shady fashion. I went to carfax and bought a month trial and sure enough, nothing was listed for my car. That made me wonder so the only person I could think of that had a car that may show up on carfax was a friend who had to get a new engine built for his Ford truck a couple years ago so I called him and ran his VIN through carfax. Nothing. Just to be fair, when shopping for cars I did notice some that had issues on carfax, but the fact that they were 0 for 2 with my vehicles pretty much made me aware of the lovefest between the used auto industry and carfax. Do a google search on carfax and you will find that we are not the only two people in the world who are catching on to this.
