Warning do not buy

Stay away from this car. They are representing it as an accident free car. Autocheck report will say that but Carfax will show front end damage and frame damage in 2010 and rear end damage in 2014. I bought this car from CarMax 2 years ago and found out a month ago what the issues were. CarMax showed me a clean Autocheck report too. CarMax bought the car back from me but it was a long stressful ordeal. Now this used car dealer wants to sell it to you.

so is there something wrong with it?
a tiny collision can dent a bumper/chip paint which carfax just reports as a collision and if it needs a new bumper bracket... "frame damage"

Carfax
Many dealers are using Autocheck as they are not as picky as Carfax. I have two different trades where the my cars were damaged (under $1000) and Autocheck reported accident free.

Not saying this is what's happening here, but I sold my mother's Miata for her a couple of years ago. She had gotten in an accident in her Lexus and it reported on the Miata Carfax. Asked Carfax to verify the police accident record, and when they came up empty handed on a confirmation they fixed the Carfax. Did you ask Carfax to verify the accident?

Correct. Most body shops and insurance companies report to Carfax but not to Autocheck. This is why many used car dealers use Autocheck and not Carfax. I found this out through this whole ordeal.

Thanks for sharing this info for potential buyers.
On the other hand, you were able to drive a Z06 for 23 months without any sign of previous damage for free! Not a bad deal since they end up buying it back from you.
