That's absolutely true. But we can only deal with what we know, not what we don't know. Carfax's limitation is not what they tell you, but what they don't tell you. Carfax doesn't know everything.

$2,000 difference from what?
The "$2,000" that I mentioned was what I would guestimate the difference would be in sales price between two hypothetical identical cars, except that one has a (non-structural) damage history and the other one has a clean history. I understand that there are lots of other variables, and that a used car, particularly a 15 year old one, is not a commodity like the way a new car is.
