^^^ This.

At my dealership, any car that doesn't pass our inspection WILL end up at the auction. And third party car dealers will buy them up, "fix" them up enough to sell, and put them up for sale. Some may provide a CarFax, but you have a 50/50 chance of ending up with a well-hidden lemon. (And I attest to this from experience.) And when it comes to lemon used cars, there's more than likely nothing you can do to get your money back.
