I did. It did not indicate any of this work. Hence why I do not think carmax is the word of God.
It is my understanding carmax will only step in if there is a discrepancy in the title status. |
Bought a used Mercedes years ago from a dealer. Had a clear carfax. After awhile we began to have some handling problems and from time to time a funky smell. Could never figure it out. Fast forward a couple of years and my wife gets rear ended and the car goes to the shop and I get a call from them wanting to know if I want them to fix the previous damage they discovered. What damage I say? I go down to the shop and they show me all these rusted weld seams and water staining in the bottom of the trunk wheel well and crap work around the rear suspension,etc. I ran another carfax and it showed an accident. The previous owner wrecked the car and got it fixed and sold it before it showed up on carfax. Carfax said they weren't responsible because they have no control over the posting of the information.
