back in the fold/need advice

If they didn't know about the damage, how can they tell you about it? But I'm no lawyer.

Do NOT depend on CarFax or any other of the reporting companies. They are only as good as the info they receive. When I had a 370Z, I had a wreck ($20K worth of repairs) that didn't show up on CarFax. That doesn't mean that the reports aren't valuable, just not infallible.

When I traded it to another Dodge dealer, they found the report in seconds. I also wondered why there were identical cuts on both sides of the car, kick panel area, and it looked pinched. I thought something heavy had scraped (bent?) the metal. As someone who has done some body work, I should have known better, probably buckled. I do believe the dealership knew.

The Z I bought came with no front license plate bracket (my 2009 did have one). Is that normal? I'll check with the dealer and see how much.
