Get estimates before you talk to the insurance agent. My opinion is that $3000 or less, pay out of pocket because it is going to cost you at least that much in trade in value if you have an insurance claim on the car.

If the job was done correctly and in the right areas, you'd have no idea any paint work had been done.

No it's not going to take a $3000 hit in trade in value. Come on... Nearly half the cars we have traded in have a mark on the carfax and unless we plan on making it a CPO car, it doesn't affect the trade in value hardly at all.

Depends on his deductible. If $500 then I would pay out of pocket. His insurance rates will increase more than that over 3 years unless he has accident forgiveness even then I would save that for a possible more expensive repair. |

I said "yes." The offer went from $24000 to $21000 because of the insurance claim.

I had someone back in to me in a similar location (thankfully I was inside the car when it happened). It ended up costing $3600 at the shop I had the insurance company use. Luckily it was his insurance company and not mine.

I asked the body shop and the insurance company specifically about Carfax. They insurance company gave me something along the lines that since I am not the insured, I am the claimant, they don't have the authority to report the claim. The body shop told me they do not report any repair work to any databases either. So there may be a way for you guys to get this worked out without having it reported. It's a total bummer to lose a good chunk of market value just because some cosmetic repair was needed.
