Hey Kyle....that sucks to hear about the car having been in an accident and such. I found a "DOT-R" body panel (pass fender) and it pissed me off, too...esp since the carfax showed no accidents. Oh well. Yeah, it ALWAYS runs better when clean

I got a DOT-R fender this last January. ****ing ice.

But, carfax does NOT show accidents. There may be a couple states that report accidents in that way, but most do not. My dad's Volvo S70 has been in two +$10,000 collisions (not even joking) and its carfax comes up clean as a whistle.

carfax reports stuff that's been tagged into the title like taxi, fleet and totaled in a wreck usually when the title changes hands to the insurance company

Also for verifying mileage. Emissions checks usually show up; along with the reported mileage at the time of the check.
