My husband and I purchased a used 2004 Honda CVRV approximately a week ago. While in the financial person's office signing contracts, I reminded our salesman that we still had not received the CarFax he had promised us.

He said that he would get it and proceeded to the manager's office. Shortly thereafter he brought us the CarFax which stated the vehicle we just purchased had a clean history.

We went home and I decided to print a CarFax of my own, at which time we found out the vehicle had been in an accident. The dealership had altered the CarFax to hide the fact that the vehicle had been in an accident and subsequently had defrauded my husband and I.

It also turns out that the original sole owner lives in the town that I work in so I decided to pay him a visit and obtain a written signed statement that the vehicle was in an accident, was hit in the front and was extremely costly to fix.
