Info on a White 2001 Ws6 w/Blue Stripes I purchased a 2001 White Ws6 from Las Vegas about 2 years ago. The car has a custom paint job w/ blue stripes. At the time the vehicle only had 19xxx miles on it. When I ran a carfax the vehicle came back perfect. Long story short, when I took the car to get an alignment 2 months later I found out it had been wrecked. 
My mechanic said that the front LCA's and steering knuckle needed to be replaced. What I am trying to figure out is if anyone knows what type of accident my car was in, or possibly who owned it before me. Under the carfax report, it says the first owner lived somewhere in Colorodo. It came with SLP headers, Y pipe with cats, Loud Mouth exhaust, SLP lid, BBK tb, STB, SFC's, 17x9.5 in the front, 17x11 Chrome zr1s, and black leather interior. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

car fax came back perfect because it will only report things that were reported to the insurance companies.. and so forth.. some one bashed it.. then paid to fix it themselves, out of pocket and not with insurance..
probably some guys car.. let his chick take it out.. she ran over a red zone parking curb.. and the boyfriend or husband had to fix it ...
is there any structurual damage? like the frame bent or evidence of it being messed with? check the K member and strut mounts as well as inner fender mounting tabs.

Mine came back clean too, only to find out after I got love tapped that the same spot was repaired before. I had mine checked out by a mechanic before I bought it, should have had it checked out by a body shop too.
I wouldn't waste too much time trying to uncover the car's history. If it's running fine for you, looks great, and isn't giving you any problems (above what you're currently experiencing), don't worry about it. You may find out something that will negatively change the way you view your car.

If the car is nice enough that you didn't notice it in two years of ownership, just forget it and enjoy your car.
