afaik, carfax only shows up write-offs, as shown by insurance companies,
or dealer service records, or changes of ownership. yours clearly
weren't any of those.

besides, how much detail do you want? otherwise carfax would be showing
up garbage like "replaced lost hubcap" or even "filled with gas at
rhonerts park casa de gasa, 57,327 miles". can't say /i/ care to have
records on how much bubblegum i buy at gas stations showing up on my car
history.
