Never trust a used car salesman. That is the only profession I can think of that gets paid to tell untruths more than lawyers. Even if he is a friend he can't be trusted or believed because he is a used car salesman. If his lips were moving and a sale was involved, he was lying to you.

I'm surprised it didn't show up on the carfax. Must have been a freebee under the radar or done by the dealer after it was traded in and done without the writeup. If the repair was paid for it is supposed to show up on carfax. Obviously there are ways around it.

Regardless, if the repair is done right and the performance or appearance of the car isn't affected, don't sweat it.
