I feel bad for everyone that is or has dealt with that stuff. Some sort of ordeal like this has heppend to us all at one time or another. Sometimes you just have to shrug it off and move on.

I know I have dealt with this but cannot remember what it was.

People hold Carfax in too high a regard....the system is seriously flawed but they promote it like it is the end all/be all and it is not. Also Salvage titles are not always bad.....today if a Mustang SVO takes a front end poke just light enough to break the lights, header panel and bend the hood but not touch the core support...it gets totalled and branded salvage simply because the parts are either expensive or not available at all.

We fixed a car 2 years ago that had $14K worth of damage which was very close to totalling but not quite...it was a 2003 GT. This car had a clean carfax and today still does despite me personally reporting it to them...they just ignored it. The ONLY time something ends up on carfax is if the state and/or insurance company reports it to them and that doesn't always happen as it is not required so when looking for a car....although Carfax CAN be helpful...DO NOT accept it as the final word on a car because I promise you it will bite you in the arse rather quickly .
