If the price is right and the repair was done so you couldn't even tell it was in an accident then the carfax wouldn't bother me at all.

Have a body man check out the car for damage if at all possible.

Thats the funny thing about carfax it could just be reported damage not an accident at all but I dont want it to come back and haunt me if I want to sell or trade in someday I am buying it as a toy not a daily drive so I want it to maintain value
