Subject: RE: Carfax?
But there is a false sense of security with these programs.
"Consumers Beware"
Not everything is reported, if it's not reported, it will not be listed in these reports.
Even if reported there can be a lengthy delay before it shows up in their data base and filed.
A classic example is fleet or rental agencies. If one of these vehicles are damaged, it's possible it's repaired and never filed on an insurance claim.
If the damages are not filed, then there is nothing to report.
The same can happen if a consumer wrecks their personal vehicle, if they have a large deductble they may elect to repair with out filing a claim,once again it's not reported and will not show up on one of these reports.
There are some value to these reports, but consumers should not rely on them for a true tell all report.
