Carfax wasn't factual for this guy

Well who knows but both may be correct. The dealer could have had an older carfax. If the guy would have paid the $40 or whatever for his own report it may have been updated. Either way, you choose to trade and taking the offer. Even for a perfect car, the dealer will find something wrong. Whether it can be certified or not for a bag deployment is another question. Ya don’t like the deal, don’t do it but got a feeling the first dealer knew a replacement bag had been installed based on company service records. Woulda likely been a dealer install and noted on the vin history. Going after the wrong party. But yeah, carfax should not be seen as definitive.
