    That's the suck Cece. Kinda like finding out your spouse has been cheating on you for years behind your back. Deep breaths..... the sledge hammer is too heavy for this job.

    Carfax is, to my current knowledge, clean on mine as well, though it has been in for for body work 2 times. A total of about $12k front end damage. I "only" go to one body shop cause these guys are simply awesome and having been a body man and painter, I can vouch for their excellent work. You would never know (and I always paid a bit extra out of pocket for new panels.... avoid the mud). Though, and I wouldn't ever be surprised, if the insurance companies that paid the tab did report it to Carfax and it took years to show up. I know, as of like last year, mine was clean. Selling it, I would be honest to the buyer, even if there were no reports.

    Well that sux. I wondered if that was yours. Unfortunately, that old saying where there's a will there's a way can come into play with vehicles sometimes. For the unscrupulous car dealer, there are a few states where a current out-of-state title can be "cleaned" by applying for a new one in a certain state, then using that new title to obtain a clean title back in the original state. The reasons given to the DMV for needing to do so can vary, but it happens.

    Was there any indication how serious the accident was? I mean, is airbag deployment something that is actually recorded in accidents/reports like carfax or autocheck? If it wasn't that serious, overall value shouldn't be affected too much.

    The ray of light...

    was not a train!

    We are on the way to go get her VX out of the shop. The transfer case mount has been replaced, and we hope that will cut down on the mystery vibes. Also, our man Espo tweaked a few other minor things in the engine bay, and reports that it is running great...
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.
