A couple years ago, I was in need of an extra truck for pulling trailers for our farm. I found and purchased the 2013 F350 Platinum from a small, diesel specific dealership in Ohio. Not only did it have a clean Carfax, it showed absolutely no signs of being in an accident. I paid in full for the truck and received a clean title for the truck.
Fast forward to today. With the used vehicle market soaring, and this being an extra vehicle, I decided to put it up for sale. Someone asked for the VIN, they ran their own report.. Carfax comes back with structural damage. I didn't believe it so I ran my own report. Sure enough..
So. On 8/20/20, 1 year after I purchased the truck, Carfax retroactively added structural damage all the back to 9/2015!! 5 years have gone by and this just slips through the cracks until now!? I have my doubts that this is legit, but this is terrible business practice.
