carfax is complete BS. legally, you only have to report to carfax if the car was totalled. the car could have kissed a guard rail, got taken to a body shop, fixed up and no-one's the wiser. my advice is take the car ur looking at to a body shop. they will check all the welds and make sure they are original. forget carfax, its a waste of time. a bodyshop will tell u more than carfax will ever.
