Nothing too surprising, though.  CarFax claims to be "most complete", which
means only they have more data points than their competition does.  It does
NOT say they have all the relevant information about any particular car.

And the news report conveniently leaves out facts like how many thousands of
cars they had to search, to find 10 of them that had problems not logged in
CarFax.  Of course, "0.2% of cars have a hidden history" doesn't make as
good a headline!
