if insurance is involved, it will be on carfax. Unless you have the pictures of the damage, hope for the best.

I have taken the pictures of the half dime size dent and included it in my sales description.
My problem is the fact that CARFAX reported a Minor Accident, which hurts the value of my vehicle. I don't see that being justified for such a minor dent...half a dime size!!!

Tell anyone who tries to nickel and dime you (no pun intended) over that Carfax report tell them to pis... er... take off. If they're relying on a half-ass reporting platform they're in for a world of hurt. $$$$

Many accidents never have been reported. Not everyone reports.

If they don't buy your accident explanation... move on. Good luck.

I will move on, but I think CARFAX is causing losses to sellers by reporting things that are not relevant. Any attorneys listening? How many sellers have been hurt by this nonsense?
