As far as I'm concerned it's worthless. We got one when we bought the Mrs' current car, and it showed all the regular maintenance from the original dealer, a few minor repairs and nothing else. After we had it a couple months I noticed that most of the driver's side had been repainted, and it also leaks water every time it rains. So it was obviously in an accident of some significance, but there wasn't squat on the Carfax about it.
But ultimately, it's my own damn fault for not catching the paint part of it. Hell I even know what to look for, I just never bothered to look at it closely.
