there is also the second part, which is that the accident needs to be reported. if you don't report an accident to the insurance/police, it never happened.

carfax isn't an absolute

secondly i typed the VIN of this cym into the Mazda computer and it had the brake recall, and the fuel recall 12-29-2011, which is fine, but they list 50,001 miles....
This is good info, but really CarFax is a JOKE! All it is good for is mileage documentation. Only 30% of all accidents get reported to CarFax. Thats 30% of REPORTED accidents. Now take into account someone that hits something and fixes it in their back yard which is WAY worse then most shops fixing it. You will have no idea unless you know what you are looking for. CarFax has ruined the car industry as a whole just like Craigslist... but that a separate rant.
