There are SO MANY holes in the CarFax setup, I wouldn't waste my time
reading a CarFax report.

Accidents that are "taken care of" in cash and aren't reported to the
insurance company or the police do NOT show up on CarFax.

Damages and major repairs that occur on cars at dealerships before they are
sold the first time do NOT appear on CarFax.

Major repairs at shops other than dealers do NOT show up on CarFax.

Just plain abuse that is patched up by the selling dealer does NOT show up
on CarFax.

etc.
