Yes, it's well known that CarFax misses a lot of data. It's a voluntary reporting process.

I wouldn't purchase any used car without a thorough inspection up on a lift by an impartial specialist. Moreover, all manufacturer service records should be checked.

If you want Apple Carplay (use the smartphone's navigation) or Android Auto, flat bottom steering wheel (makes getting in and out easier), then you have to get 2016 and newer.
