The sale/price/trade all went smoothly. The salesman proundly presented a clean carfax. The car has been good except:
1. a google search of the vin revealed that the front bumper, front fender, doors, and rear fender had all been replaced at the auction house (manheim) apparently to escape Carfax. All of this was on the sales slip from Manheim. The sales guy had to know, although he claimed the buyer never told him. Slick.
2. after a flat tire, it was discovered the spare was missing. after maybe 10 phone calls, and another 10 emails, several visits, and a month, a new wheel (non matching) and tire were provided.
3. Several serious car people have told me that they are known for scratch and dent cars, hence the on-site body shop.
Those the facts in the case, as I know them.
