Buying used cars really is a roll of the dice without some serious due-diligence and professional/expert head-to-toe inspections prior to purchase.

I know tell me about it

I will never trust carfax or any fax out there. What happened is the previous owner had a car accident and did not inform the insurance company got it fixed in an independent shop and sold to me.

When I found out about the problem which was 2 weeks after I purchased the car, I went to the small dealer where I purchased the car. But the dealer was out of business already.

Overall I was happy with the car until yesterday.
