carfax may show damage but its not necessarily complete. for example, last
month my wife was driving down a busy city street when some ***-clown pulls
out of a bank parking lot without stopping and t-boned her.
http://7slotgrille.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1044
as i was complaining about depreciation value when i go to trade it in, i
was "reassured" by both the insurance adjuster and the body shop that the
wreck would never show up on carfax. i told them that was dishonest, but
thats beside the point. it shows me that even carfax isnt dependable.

Re: Carfax worth it?
Hi Chad,
An example of a CarFax, I ran on my Thunderbird to see if it would
pick up a little problem, it did. This shows four hits in ten years, I'm
betting with nine, yours was Salvaged.
The Vehicle Identification Number submitted was checked against the
Carfax® database of over
1.14 billion vehicle records. The Carfax database includes U.S. and
Canadian title and registration
activity, rental and lease usage, odometer readings from emissions
inspection stations, auto
auctions and other sources. The results of this search are displayed
below.
Vehicle ID: 1FAPP6044KH134133

Engine: 3.8L V6 TBI OHV
Fuel: Gasoline
Driveline: Rear-wheel drive
Aspiration: Normal
Country Mfg.: United States

reported odometer reading is less than a previous reading.
The Carfax database contains the following information about this 1989
Ford:
