I wouldn't take a clean Carfax as a clean bill of health. But a Carfax with some dings on it can help you ask the right questions and check the seller's honesty and knowledge about the car.

When I sold my 330i, the buyer pulled a Carfax that had no mention of the $7k repair from my getting rear-ended, but did mention a claim by the pedestrian who claims I hit her. Nothing more than her handprints were on the car after that. Buyer believed my story and I told him about the rear end repair.
