The only accurate information that you can expect from CARFAX is where & when the initial registration took place and how many times the vehicle's been re-registered since. As for accident damage history or any other issues, forget it! I once owned a car that was involved in an accident and incurred over $20K in damages. CARFAX came back clean as a whistle. Accident repairs, flood damage, etc. only show up if the shop handling the repair bothers to log it into the CARFAX database.
