I bought a very low mileage used car about 6 or 7 years ago and asked for a CarFax when we were looking at it. Of course, it was spotless. When I went to trade it in a few years ago they gave me a ridiculously low offer and said it had been in a wreck. I told them that when I bought the car it only had a few thousand miles on it, the CarFax was clean, and I had not been in an accident. The sales manager brought out the current CarFax and it indicated that the car had been in a rear end collision that was bad enough the car had to be taken away on a flat bed. I never had any issues with the car but, needless to say, I was pissed. Buyer beware.
