I bought a Honda Civic 2010 in 2009 from Hinshaw's Honda of Auburn assuming it was NEW. It had only 9 miles on it when I had purchased it. A couple days ago I went to another dealership to trade in my Honda Civic, during the transaction of the trade you are asked a series of questions regarding your car, like ""Were you ever in an accident."" Well of course I answered ""No"" to that question, because from my understanding from when I purchased the car was that I was buying a NEW car straight from the lot with only 9 miles. Well the dealership that I was doing the trade with did a CarFax on my VIN number on my Civic and found that my car was in an accident 7 days before I bought it!!! I was in soooo much shock! They have no code of ethics. They sold me that car knowing that it had been in an accident and did not bother to tell me about it. Moral of the story, it's a good idea to check CarFax on a USED and NEW cars because even a NEW car could have a bad car history on it. The thing that sucks THE MOST about this, is that the value of my car went waaay down because of the accident. I'm still in shock and would like everyone to know of their dishonesty.
