[Neilk]

As Z-Man mentions, Carfax is only worth weeding out cars with major odometer issues or wrecks. My wife just traded in her car and I checked the dealer site where it is now listed. They had a link to the Carfax report so I clicked on it...

It shows the car as being clean and never wrecked. In fact she was in a small parking lot fender bender and had her rear bumper cover replaced 3 years ago by her insurance. Last year it had over $6,000 in hail damage requiring a new windshield and hood and that wasn't reported either. She had another small incident a couple of weeks ago which I would expect to see in Carfax and that wasn't there.

So my question is, what does it take to get an accident listed in Carfax? Does the insurance not report those to Carfax? They do cover themselves by saying "No accident / damage reported to CARFAX", but I could create my own site and say no accident damage reported to Neil.

Someone needs to expose them for being almost worthless.
