Lots of accidents never get reported. There are lots of erroneous reports that Carfax doesn't bother to remedy. Maintenance records are almost always incomplete giving an unrealistic picture of the true history. If you want to piss away $40, send it to me. Otherwise apply your money to a comprehensive PPI. Carfax is 90% advertising and 10% actual content.
