Purchased a 2019 Outback in Dec 2024, CPO car, paid premium price since l was under the gun to replace a totaled vehicle and needed wheels asap. On the available Car Fax there was a stated accident on the record. I asked the salesmen if they could sell a car as a CPO with an accident.Apparently they could. I checked for wrinkles in frames and bumpers and it looked good, drove like new with 54 K so l bought it. No issues since that hasn’t been covered by warranty. Skip to this week, and l get an offer from Carvana with a claim of 2+ accidents. I check with Carvana and they use Carfax for vehicle history. So either Car-fax is wrong, the dealership gave me a bogus Car-fax or SOA sells a 2 accident car as a CPO. Anybody ever run into this ?

Found a TDI on FBMP in my town, only thing l didn’t like that it was DSG, $4500, title in hand. Went on Been Verified to check on it to see if l could find maintenance records ( zero) but did see that it had been titled 11 times, all East Coast except for an AZ and a WV title consecutively. The mileage only upped 20-25 miles between the 2 titles from AZ and WV so l suspect title washing.Anyway, despite being underpriced by 3-4K, l’m going to have to pass on this one. Anybody else have a similar situation?
