Carfax is nonsense.
The vast majority of "accidents" come from a police report. Back up into someone in a parking lot, scuff your bumper and dent their door? If you call the police in about 70% of the country your car has been in an accident per Carfax.
Do $28,000+ worth of damage to a new car and it gets fixed, even though its had structural damage and airbag deployment? Well, of it happens in an area where they don't share accident data to Carfax then you'd have a clean Carfax.
My GS has an accident on the Carfax. I spent $100 getting the back bumper airbrushed.
My 2000 (lease ended in 03) Volvo S80 was in a massive accident when it was almost new. Structural/frame/unibody damage? Yup. I carfaxed it last year, was still on the road... It had an accident report but it was from 06. No mention of the $28k in damage including airbag deployment in 2000.
I've seen cars that had been in serious accidents with clean Carfax reports countless times. Don't rely on them, use your own judgement.
For all ya know that door was painted because it got scratched.

Sad part is most of these cars with an accident/damage report are non sense reports. Then the consumer is scared of the car...but when the car that shows "no" carfax history was wrapped around a pole were "ok" with that car since nothing reported
