Even using CarFax, you won't know what you are getting because it does not disclose everything. Even if the vehicle has been in an accident with the dealership and under a certain amount of money, they don't have to report it or disclose the accident. Trust me I know.report abuse

There is not as much of a problem with the law or how it reads as there is with the dealers and how they chose to do business. A reputable business is not going to take any chances with this issue coming back to bite them. They are going to be chrystal clear with the buyer on the history of the cars they sell. Some consumers are willing to take a chance on these cars in order to save money at the time of purchase, but others would wisely not come within a mile of these cars because of the probability of maintainence nightmares down the road and those people need to know what it is they are buying. Hiding behind the wording of a law in order to make much larger than average profit per unit because the consumer thinks they are buying a high line car not a distressed unit is wrong and deceptive . That is where the problem really lies.report abuse
