Even minor no-damage car accidents, especially those with no insurance claim, can impact a car's resale value. Carfax is more likely to flag such events thanks to its extensive repair shop and insurer network. VinAudit, while reliable for official records, may miss low-severity incidents. If accident history is your top concern, this difference alone could justify the higher price of Carfax.
