CARFAX (or any of the reporting services) only indicates that there was an 'event' reported to the police. It doesn't tell you how serious the damage was. However, a salvage title marker in the report is something you should probably stay away from.
For giggles I ran a report on one of the cars I own that had a minor sideswipe. No bodywork was even required as the light scratches in the rear bumper just buffed out. The police got involved because the woman who caused the incident was DUI. But it doesn't matter because now the car has an 'accident indicator' on its report. CARFAX does allow the current owner of a vehicle to correct information in a report if it's in error.
