How to read a Carfax report.
So I'm looking at the car fax for a car we might be buying and it says that the AutoCheck score is a 91 and the average is 79-87 so this means the car should be above average. However it says there was an accident reported on the history. Wouldn't this make the rating go down? I'm confused about how to actually read this thing. haha

It depends on the accident- if the car was in something really minor (just paint or bumper work) then it shouldn't impact the score that much, I think. Chances are the car in question just had some paint work done on the bumpers or something, though I wouldn't know for sure.

it's a car-drive it
Carfax's are only Good with information provided to them. Even tho I have all the service done at acura dealers onl y a recall and 1 service shows up. Two of the dealers do not share info with carfax.
