The Carfax should reveal where the vehicle was first registered.

In my case, the carfax was fine. It was a lease car.
They drove it to me at my local DMV 3 1/2 hours away. I looked over the car, noticed a few small spots but nothing huge. Later on I noticed it was a lot worse. I'm guessing the excitement of a new car and the feeling of being a bit rushed right at the DMV to get in and out made me miss some things. However its not just a used vehicle, its certified. It's held to a certain standard by corporate and its the obligation of the dealer to uphold them. What happened was basically fraud. Someone passed a car to be certified that should have never of been certified to start unless the issues were fixed.
I have multiple phone calls recorded, one in which the GM of the dealership himself said he would not deny there being some truth to that when I had said I believed that some things were overlooked for the sake of selling a CPO
