Used car issue

A while back wife went and bought a used car, dealership showed her the Carfax and said the vehicle had never been in an accident. Go yesterday to trade it in and of course, yes it has been wrecked. It was not on the Carfax at the time she purchased it.
How in the hell is that legal? Took a huge hit on trade in because of it.

Plot twist: she's the one that wrecked it.

It’s possible insurance hadn’t reported the accident yet because the claim wasn’t closed yet. Then they settled it after y’all bought the car.
Where should I send the bill for my consultation?

A couple of questions:
Does Carfax carry a guarantee that their data and report is accurate?
What was the source that the dealership used to determine the vehicle was involved in an accident?

So you bought the car in Nov 18, and you're already trading it in?
That's financially sound.

The stealership showed her a fake carfax. Always look up the CarFax on your own.
Lesson learned, just don’t let your wife make purchasing decisions.

Accidents don't have to be reported to Carfax.
You only took a hit if you were dumb enough to take a hit.
Edit: If they edited the original carfax and presented it as true, that is fraud.
If the second dealer did a proper trade evaluation and spotted it had been in an accident, then good on them for doing their jobs.
Having said that, it isn't overly difficult to spot the handiwork of different body men on a vehicle.

You were going to take a huge hit anyway. NEVER TRADE A CAR IN (unless you don’t mind throwing money away). Always sell it out right. Do an in and out, if you can. Did it with my last car and ended up $2,100.00 to the good over what the dealership offered.
