I am quite certain the damage was minor, but enough to qualify as frame damage. We did get a decent deal on the car, but now are paying the price.

The damage occurred before we bought the car, by a year or more, but was not reported on the carfax from our purchase. Carfax claims that they now have the ability to pull more data from a service called framecheck or something.

SO, in the 3 year period we have had the car, carfax now has more data, data that hurts us directly, because, according to all the info they had 3 years ago, our car was perfect, and now, they can tell us otherwise.

the worst part is that there is no way to discuss this with the folks at carfax, only an email address you can write to, and their replies seem to be a random form letter, no relation to what your actual question is, well, maybe a little. Why should they care, they know that there are enough loop-holes in their system to allow them to escape.
