A lot of times, auctions will list frame damage for any kind of modification. That means lifts, lowering, any kind of suspension modification whatsoever, which includes things like different control arms that allow alignments to be done correctly, or even non-stock shocks, jack marks, aftermarket trailer hitches, a small ding in the frame, and on and on. If it has ever been even TO an auction, it doesn't even have to be bought/sold there, and they mark it 'frame damage' it can show up. They are extremely anal with frame damage markings because they are just trying to cover their own ass on liability and arbitration between buyers and sellers.
Carfax does not collect this information from auto auctions (or not as many) and Autocheck does.
My guess is that is what you are seeing, rather than actual frame damage information from an accident provided by the insurance company. You should see that on both reports.
I could be wrong though, but I have seen the latter many, many, times. |
