Car Fax question
I am looking at a 2017 Subaru Forester for my daughter and the car fax has listed a rear damage report. It doesn't say accident though. What could this be? Any car fax experts here please chime in. The car in question is a certified used and has 40K on it.
The car in question: https://www.mcgovernsubaru.com/certi...c8182a0e0a.htm. They don't have the car fax online, but sent it to me in a text. I don't know how to post it here from a text though :confused5: Edit: the car fax is now online! https://www.carfax.com/VehicleHistor...SJAGC9HH545205 |

As someone who deals with these every day, I can tell you this. Carfax sucks, and I don't trust a damn thing on them.

As for the car itself the only real way you are going to find out is putting it on a lift and inspecting it,looking for damage on your own and to what extent. Cert cars are suppose to be held to a higher level,brakes,tires can't be below a certain limit.On Toyota's new blades filters radio software up to date and very clean inside and out. |

https://www.granitesubaru.com/all-in...model=Forester A year older, but low miles and no damage report! I'll let you know how this one goes :seasix: |
Small story- sold a 2010 GrandSport Corvette that I had spun into a gravel trap. Fixed all the minor details and had a quality paint shop do the final work. No carfax report.
Carfax is to make the sheeple feel good. You need to do your own due diligence before you buy. Never trust an online service that depends on insurance. |

Got hit while at a stop light on christmas eve 2015; https://i.postimg.cc/7Ykfs48W/WP-201...-30-17-Pro.jpg Doesn't look too bad, but sub-frame was bent, class III receiver bent down, over $4k in damage. Took 1 month in the shop to get repaired! Went thru my insurance initially to get damage repaired. Other insurance company eventually paid full cost. Traded the Escape in earlier this year, and the dealer called about 3 weeks later inquiring about the engine replacement I had done in 2017. Never any questions about the damage. So, I looked at the car fax report. Only mentions in the report were the recalls and warranty repairs I had done at Ford dealers over my 6 years of ownership. Nothing about the "accident". Carfax is not the most reliable medium. |
Somehow , someONE at Carfax is getting PAID!!!!
