Involving a rear impact

or collision



North Carolina Police Reports:





* Provide an estimate of the extent of damage in its accident reports. The levels of damage are:

o SEVERE: The vehicle cannot be driven from the accident scene due to severe damage or an injury. This level of damage often results in a Salvage or Junk title.

o MODERATE: The accident damage affects the operation of the vehicle and/or its parts. Examples include broken windows, trunk lids, doors, bumpers and tires.

o MINOR: The accident damage does not affect the operation of the vehicle. Examples include dented bumpers, fenders, grills and body panels. This level of accident should not compromise vehicle safety.

o NO DAMAGE: The vehicle was not damaged.

* Are required if the estimated damage exceeds $1000

* Are released annually to CARFAX in August



According to the National Safety Council, Injury Facts, 2003 edition, 12% of the 243 million registered vehicles in the U.S. were involved in an accident in 2002. Over 90% of these were considered minor or moderate.

CARFAX depends on public and private sources for its accident data. Each one of these sources has different processing times. CARFAX can only report what is in our database on 26.Oct.2005 11:32:12. New data will result in a change to this report.

Not all accidents are reported to the Police. Tell us if you know of other fender benders, accidents or damage.





what do you guys think?

i checked the car everything seems fine, look wise and driveability

the small right light (the ones on the bottom portion of the bumper) was cracked.

my FD has been wrecked twice.... and has a bent frame rail. Carfax doesn't list anything wrong with mine either. Find someone that knows FDs and have them look at it.



I see that it's a NC report.... where is the car located now?

Yeah, take a look at it. I also bought a car that had a clean title. Carfax stated it was in a wreck and the dealership said it had a minor accident but nothing bad enough to trigger the airbags. He said it had been inspected and passed and nothing was wrong ect....



Now that i'm replacing the motor in it (bought it non running), i see that the front bumper support was poorly welded(and now rusting), back onto the frame. And i know why the airbags didn't trigger.... they are disconnected....

Car is located in so cal.



The car is regularly checked by maztech/fmc.

I read they are pretty good.



I spoke with the mechanic that works on the car, He is also the owner of maztech/fmc. He said no big problems.
