With respect to CarFax....I'm not trying to be dishonest. CarFax basically would state that your car was in an accident and, no matter how minor, no one would believe you. I would totally be upfront about this if I ever sell my car, but I'm pretty sure that won't happen because I love this thing!!

Is it 100% perfect? No, It is 90% to 95% there though, and at 30,000 miles I am at peace with the reality that cars that are driven do get into scrapes and get worn.
