Hello All, I recently purchased a used car 1999 camry LE with 6900 miles on it. I thought it was a steal for a price I got it for until I took it my mechanic who looked at the car and said it was repainted. When he made a closer observation he found out that the roof of the car was probably damaged and someone put a new factory roof and welded it to the body. When he pulled the rubber linings on the doors I could see the welding signs. Now I brought this car by checking the VIN number on carfax which claimed that it has no major damages or accidents reported on the car. After reliazing the issues with my car I emailed carfax but they say since it was not totalled by DMV its still a good car and hence they would not cover it for a buyback guarantee. Has anyone come across something like this and what do you think are my options now? Thanks a lot in advance for a tips or suggestions. Ciao!!!!
