I don't and can't trust Carfax. A friend had wrecked her car when it was a year old and 4 years later it never showed up on Carfax. So CarFax is greater for a seller....

I heard that the information that's on Carfax (in regards to accidents) comes from the insurance companies, but if you paid for the repairs on your own then the fact that you had an accident wouldn't be reflected on Carfax. So I agree, the information on Carfax is not accurate.

Next time you are at the dealer just have the tech pull the Netstar that shows all the options your car came with. If its early build as said they were missing options.

No need to visit a dealer for that, although it is one option to get the info. I believe the OP already got this (without visiting the dealer).
