I told him I bought the Expy with 10K miles and car faxed it and there was nothing on the car fax. He said it could have been repaired off the books if it was a minor hit. Anyone know if ford uses bondo on the bumper as part of manufacturing process? I didn't think so.
If it was damaged in transit, the dealer would repair it at the shop or sub it out, then send Ford the bill. A minor accident not reported to DMV won't show up on Carfax.
