2009 E350
Bought a clean 09 e350. Insurance won't insure due to C.L.U.E. Claims.
Got a really clean 2009 e350 a few days ago. Came with 50k 4 year extended warrantee. Drives great. Approved by mechanic and has clean carfax. When i called my insurance company to give them VIN they came back that they couldn't insure due to an at fault claim against the car for $8500. It also had two comprehensive claims as well. I live in Colorado where hail damage is a common occurrence. No other insurance company i've contacted has had any issues insuring the car. I'm not sure whether i should be concerned about this. I haven't taken possession of the car yet, the dealer was putting new brakes and tires on it for me. Should i back out of this deal?!

"at fault claim" like PO made $8500 accident?
Howcome Carfax doesn't have it?
You might spend your time investigating what really happen there, but so many cars, so little time.

Carfax misses many accidents that Autocheck finds.
Run an autocheck here for $2.

Also have that first insurance company double check the VIN.
