from my personal experience you can't trust carfax, it's random what shows up.....i had a "mishap" in a parking lot with my truck 6 years ago....i was picking up one of skydiving students up at a metro station in northern virginia, the kiss-n-ride lot (that name still makes me laugh) had parking meters in front of the spaces that were sunk in 10" steel tubes filled with concrete (not on a curb, just at the front of each spot)...to make a long story short (and there were extenuating circumstances), i hit one and it sheered the front wheel completely off, tore out the 4-wheel drive, destroyed the steering box, etc....when all was said and done it was $11k+ worth of damage....not one of my proudest moments! :cries:
to this day, that incident has not shown up on the carfax report for my truck! repair shops, insurance agencies, etc are hit-or-miss as to whether they report to carfax, so it is really a crap shoot....
