Are you looking at purchasing a vehicle with an accident reported on the Carfax? The only information you will get it what is printed. If you want to know if the repair was done right, have a mechanic or body shop inspect it before purchasing. A lot of people buy cars with reported accidents. I suggest you plan on keeping the car you buy with an accident on the report till it's worn out, as when you go to trade it in, you will not get as much as a vehicle with a clean report. HTH's
