I was rear-ended sitting at a red light. Damage was light; the car behind me was hit hard, but pushed forward and only mildly scratched my rear bumper. This was on a 12-year old RX-8 with 120,000 miles.
I'm sure it shows up on Carfax, as there was a claim. But I decided to live with the small imperfection and pocketed the money. Not sure this is the case with the cited example, but it does happen.
