Totally agree.
So it appears you didn't run a CarFax on the car when you bought it? I assume the accident would have appeared back then. If you didn't get a CF, you didn't do your due diligence and now it's costing you. That's not CF's fault. I think this is fairly new, but at least CF has categorized it as minor.
In my Wheeler Dealer activities, I pass on cars that have accident damage reported on CF because I know my customer base isn't interested in cars with damage and I don't need the extra stories that have to be explained. But I deal in higher priced / newer cars than a 20 yr old car. Cars of your vintage have a higher chance of being in an accident just because they've had potentially more exposure. Customers of your car shouldn't be as affected by a minor accident. But everything else being equal, you'll probably have to price your car lower than one w/o accident damage.
