Before I decided to hang on to my 991 turbo cabriolet for another year, I mentioned the idea of trading it in to my sales dude at the local Porsche dealership. He said they would have to lowball me on a trade-in offer because CARFAX is showing that my car had a collision. I bumped into someone's rear bumper at about 2mph the very first day I picked the car up. I didn't even know there was any internal damage for almost 4 years and only found out when I got the bumper repainted to fix some rock chips.
There ended up being about $5k in internal damage, but it definitely wasn't any sort of major collusion that should effect the value of my vehicle. I'm just wondering if anyone here has ever dealt with CARFAX about a situation like this and been successful in getting them to remove a "collision" from their car's record. I know I should just contact them myself, but I thought I'd mention it here first to see if anyone else has dealt with a similar situation.
