Found out that my car had the hood, windshield, front and rear bumper covers replaced along with who knows what else, was at the body shop and seen that the bumpers where not oem or the hood and windshield, nothing on carfax about it, but she looks fine, should i be concerned ? minus the clear coat peeling on the hood and above the drivers door, that might have been replaced also. should i worry?

 

too late to worry now right? lol.. i bought mine with 25K miles about 6-8 months ago.. and a few months in i realized the back bumper was replaced...what am i going to do lol.. car runs great..

 

I would, sounds like it got in an accident. First thing you look at are all the parts you mentioned and look for wrench marks on the bolts. Look for overspray in the engine compartment, so on and so on.

 

I noticed the doors dont line up real strait when there closed.
makes me wonder it the unibody is bent
i just cant beleive carfax was clean

 

Being in the car business for almost 10 years, Carfax and Autocheck isn't reliable all the time. You should always do an "off-the-lot" pre-purchase inspection from a third party mechanic to check for frame, unibody and other problems that may still exist.

 

I shoulda but i went through hell to get the car because the bank must have blonde women working for them, they messed up the vin and i almost lost the car and my trade in, everything seems fine minus the damn persistant lean bank one code.......and that it sounds like its gona rattle apart on every bump, i have all new suspension and still..

 

Doesn't Carfax have some kind of guarantee that you can cash in on based on your findings?

 

i think carfacx is linked through the insurance, when you make a claim it gets updated and put in the system. if you don't make a claim, no record.

 

true and also the DMV

 

Not all work is reported to carfax, especially when a backyard mechanic has had it.

 

Yup yup... you can't expect to get all your car's factual information from a website. If it isn't turned into the insurance or submitted by the insurance then it won't be on carfax.com. Think of how many people work for insurance companies that drive cars, and the all the other vehicle owners who do and/or know others that do collision and car repair. Much of this isn't going to be on record. Don't believe everything you don't see "first-hand"

 

yup it was prob a weck that the insurance never knew about
