I purchased a car from carmax with a "clear carfax". Turns out that carfax only shows accidents that are reported to police.

The car I bought had indeed been in an accident, but no police report. A body shop showed me the indication of damage and repair other than the damage from the accident I had in it. 2 years later, I sold the car back to carmax, without disclosing my accident. Again, a clear carfax.

I will say though, they gave me more than blue book value, so no issue there. But who ever buys that car will get a car that's been in at least 2 accidents, with a clean carfax report. The true value has been deminished, and insurance companies can find out about any accidents that were reported to any insurance company, regardless of the carfax. I suggest that you run the VIN through your insurance company and get a report other than carfax.....regardless of where you buy the car.

Carmax sold me a damaged car, and bought a damaged car back from me. I even had equity so I'm good.

Reason of review: Not as described/ advertised.

Location: Phenix City, Alabama
