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.
