[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are looking at potentially buying a 2023 used car with under 15k miles BUT the carfax report shows that it was used as a rental car and was involved in two "minor accidents."  We test drove the car and it looked and felt great AND the car is still under manufacturers warranty until 40k miles.  Would you risk this or not?  [/quote]

So, I once had someone do a hit and run on my car in that they backed into it in a parking garage and left. They basically messed up the front passenger side -- needed some body work. I filed a claim with insurance and had it fixed.

Four years later when I traded it in, the dealer tried to lowball me because the CarFax said it had been "in an accident."

Do with that information what you will.[/quote]
It was, wasn't it? That's how it's categorized when you file a claim and get it fixed. [/quote]

If you don't use insurance, you can use body shops who don't report to carfax. When I had to replace a bumper (neighbor hit parked car, and paid cash to avoid insurance), the first question I asked the shops I looked at for estimates was whether or not they reported to carfax  [/quote]
