how does carfax work??

CarFax can be pretty hit or miss, I definitely wouldn't base my sole decision on buying a car just off a CarFax report. Best bet is to look for all the tell tale signs of an accident, like 122554 pointed out.

+1. I haven't seen any reports of false positive from CarFax but there are a LOT of reports of false negatives. Ie, you can probably believe any reported accidents but none reported doesn't mean anything.

When in doubt, get it checked by a pro.
