Just saying

Opposite. I'm looking at buying a truck that appears to have fresh paint on the front end like it was in a collision and repaired. Slight gap changes, etc. Nothing that screams repair but makes me question it. Carfax is clean. So was curious how far behind carfax was from real time collisions.

tell them you want to have your mechanic check it, then have a local bodyshop examine it to tell you what was done.

Yeah I plan to go back this weekend in some ratty clothes so that I can get underneath and check things out. I already asked him about taking somewhere to have it looked at but might be more trouble than it's worth. I'll see what it looks like when I can get under it. Thanks everyone
