Unfortunately you are publishing stuff that isn’t substantiated. When has an accident appeared on CarFax that didn’t happen? Sure, I take you at your word — but I don’t believe for one second that wasn’t an oddball, isolated case. I’ve been looking at multitudes of CarFaxes way too long.

Ever order a part for your car at the parts desk using your VIN? I can’t imagine you haven’t, but I know I and many others have on many occasions. Do you think the conspiring CarFax gods are triggered when a dashboard is ordered but not when a lesser part is ordered? I ordered a leather armrest for my SL63 last summer using my VIN to obtain the exact leather color etc. I just ran a CarFax in your honor, and there is no evidence of the order there. And if there were, I imagine I could scare someone away by telling the person I simply ordered a leather armrest because I didn’t like the one that was there.

You don’t have to trust it, and I respect your prerogative to have and maintain a conservative approach here — I’m not being wise. I have said what I said so others can review perspective from the other side.

All the best

Paint still looks great after 5 years 15,000 miles and multiple track days.

After more thought, its actually better this way as im not paying for the black caliber and I will likely change the caliber color to match the car when it arrives.
