Good watch. The other report is CarProof.

Looks like my parents were right to be paranoid despite this craptastic service. I actually saw it on TV a few weeks back.

Oh I see.

I get into an accident what should I do hmm

1. call the cops
2. Call my insurance.
3. Oh I cant forget about carfax god forbid.

Carproof might also not have the info. And carfax will. Who knows. Theres also that other carfax rival.

I had another dealer show us a "Clean" carfax and you can physically see the rear bumbler had been replaced as the mechanic that put it back together put "G35" wording on the back crookedly. When we told the dealer that it probably had been in an accident they kept saying but carfax says its clean.

when i was car shopping the dealer showed me the carfax on a G35 that was clean. however, the door had a bit of a hitch in it when closing. autocheck pulled up an accident on the driver's side

I learned a while back what a joke Carfax is.

Just one example was my friend buying a used Mustang with a clean Carfax. Went to trade it in a year or so later and there was a report of an accident (pretty much one side of the car replaced). Fked up his trade in value.
