BLUF, Carfax is not always correct. Sometimes it goes the other way...

Years ago I ran into the back of a F-250 with my 2 year old Yukon. The damage was substantial requiring pulling the front frame section, replacing the core support and all associated grille, bumper, headlights and etc. to repair it.

When I went to sell it about 10 years later as a private seller I provided the Carfax report that reported "minor damage" as well as all meticulous service records. I was honest with the buyer and informed him of the actual damage. Being I had owned it for 10 years after the accident and that it ran and drove excellent with even treadwear he bought it anyway. I ran into the buyer several years later and he still owned it and was most happy with it.
