One of the disadvantage of buying a used car.

I totally agree that not all accidents are posted on CarFax. This happened to my son recently when he was buying a supposedly clean and accident free Mazda from a dealer in California. The dealer had a return policy and he took the car to an independent shop for an inspection. It only took minutes for them to discover undisclosed repairs from an accident and he returned the car to the dealer for a full refund.
The OP should have the car inspected by an independent shop. Put the car up on a lift and see if there are any visible signs of repairs performed from an undisclosed accident.
