One thing I noticed, MT Yaris (or any car I guess) can be bought much cheaper.

Carfax isn't a guarantee. If a car is wrecked and then repaired at home or by a shop that doesn't enter in these reports (repairs paid by the owner out of pocket or other factors) then nothing will go in.
Just as how a car can avoid a salvage title if the claim is never put into insurance - maybe because the only insurance the owner had was liability. So Billy Bob, the owner's buddy, repairs it for a three-month supply of Lite Beer; and the thing is completely farkled up. But it looks pretty; and there's no Carfax or salvage title!
