Carfax not helping

[Marksman]

I listed a nice 2001 S on a popular auction site a few days ago. In the process, I saw that CARFAX reported a minor accident for my car. I was very surprised, because I was not aware that the car had been in an accident (at least not in the way I understand the term “accident”).
According to the prior owner, my Boxster was the second car behind a collision that occurred ahead. Debris flew up in the air and hit the top of the trunk. A small dent, about half the size of a dime was the result. I pointed that out in the photos of the ad.
The CARFAX report listed the damage as “Minor.” The CARFAX explanation of minor damage is: Minor damage is usually cosmetic, including dents or scratches to the vehicle body. On a 20-year-old car, why is CARFAX compelled to report this?
The problem is the heading reads, “Minor Accident.” For many, that is an automatic disqualifier. This unnecessary report reduces the value of vehicles and causes financial loss to the sellers.
Let me know what you think.
