My Wife stopped for a very slight bumper tap from behind (the person was shoved into her by another who hit) the contact left a slight rub mark on the car that wasn't even big enough to rub out. Of course it was never reported and no claim filed.
When we went to trade the car, the CARFux report said the car had been towed from the scene as undriveable. The only reason she stuck around was to make sure the woman who was hit was OK. WTF??? Took us a while to figure out what it was about (as the car had NEVER been in an accident) Pointed the rub mark out to the dealer (who couldn't see it at first) and after a brief argument they gave us full value for the trade.

I wouldn't believe anything on those stupid reports unless I see evidence of the repairs. Was the frame welded?? The evidence of that kind of work should be pretty obvious.

As always, if you're buying used, you should have the dealer produce the Carfux report for you..
