Help me I'm a noob....

Long story short

I need to figure out a way to find out if my car was an auction car and if it ever was in an accident....Carfax comes out clean and of course not every accident is reported...

is there a way to find out if the car was an auction car?

Also is there a way to check anything in the car or any of the parts to see if its factory parts/specs....

Generally if cars were auctioned it is on Carfax, at least as far as I know.

If you're worried it's been in an accident look for new parts, bolts, sheetmetal, paint overspray, uneven paint, faded paint, orange-peeling clearcoat, etc.

One of the best ways to spot an 'accident' car, is to look down the side of the car, and try to spot slight imperfections, misaligned body panels, etc. You can also try to find slight creases on joints. Another trick is to see if there is a big tree shaped indentation in the front, or side of the car... Always a giveaway.
