In a word. No. I will give you my example. I purchased a car that was given a clear carfax from a dealership. Once I noticed that it had previous work done, I went back to the dealership and they then told me it had an accident reported. After I spoke to a bodyshop, it was explained to me that a seller can wreck a car, have it fixed using the insurance company and delay cashing the check until the sale is done. Apparently carfax doesn't report a claim until the check is cashed. This is the only explanation that can account for what happened with my encounter.
