    Ifeel for you. My bimmer got nailed in a hail storm yesterday, which sucks. Insurance has been pretty cool about it, but its another that I have to deal with.

    Hmm I didn't think Colorado reported the damages to Carfax?

    Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

    Yes, I was pissed because I chose to stop closer to home vs stopping at a nice McDonald's in A better corner of town. Meaning usually better customers than the trash that hit us. Less risk I guess.

    Already have discovered a invalid address written down by the driver, shows up as a vacant lot.

    Insurance didn't seem to complain though, I had a valid policy and insured. Hopefully she doesn't deny anything. (And Why I call first)

    Companies I've worked for even have depreciated value desks, so you should absolutely push for it.

    It has nothing to do with the state. Your insurance company reports it. It is all public information carfax just puts it all in one spot. Before the days of carfax nobody put much importance on parking lot fender benders because once fixed it was not really noticeable, but now days with every claim being reported you cant really hide it and you will take a hit on trade in or if selling.

    I know what you all mean about Carfax. I've been looking at cars to replace my 1999 Chrysler and there's one on Autotrader that looks great BUT ... it has an accident report on Carfax. I've had to have my frame straightened after someone ran into me (9 days after I bought it!) and it drives great. You couldn't ever tell it had been in an accident from driving it -- haven't even had to touch the alignment in 7 years or so. Despite that personal experience, I'm leery about buying someone else's car when I see the accident report on Carfax, especially with it being out-of-state. Someone somewhere is going to get a great deal on that car but the report definitely messes with sellability and future value.
