Tennessee Attorney David A. McLaughlin filed a class action lawsuit against CARFAX, Inc. in 2003, alleging the company failed to disclose that it does not access records from more than 20 states, and the information consumers buy is often “incomplete, inaccurate and unreliable.”
McLaughlin’s 2003 suit charged that auto dealer Mid-South Motors purchased a 1995 BMW 525i from another wholesaler in 2002 after buying a CARFAX report that showed no “salvage” brands and no police accident or damage disclosure records.
A subsequent check of a database maintained by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) revealed that the BMW had been declared a “total loss” three separate times after accidents in New York, Florida and Georgia that were reflected in police accident records, according to court documents.
i check the slaab on carfax, and it showed nothing; however, the hood has been sprayed, and i had to connect a few things left unhooked by the shop that worked on it.
