You are twisting my words. The door ding does not cause the diminished value; the accident report does. A future buyer will not know whether the cause was just a door ding or if airbags were deployed. I was suggesting to the OP they he not file a claim to avoid there being a record of the incident and to avoid the hassle of having to explain this to the future buyer of the vehicle.
