Well,as far as it being wrecked and repaired and not being reported to CarFax,it would be up to you to prove it!
And that can be hard to prove,Ex-specially if a Insurance Co. didn't pay out on it!! As far as a privet owner,Again you would have to prove that he knew it had been,but didn't disclose it!!And then you would have to Prove the existent of damage was over 25% or more of ACV at the time of damage!!

U.R. Screwed !!!
If you had bought it from a Licensed,Bonded and Insured Dealer,The state DMV would do some digging for you and find a accident report on it somewhere,but there wouldn't be any guarantees that they could find anything!!
Try running a AutoCheck,I've found them to be much more complete than CarFax!!
