Looking for accident advice - carfax and diminished value claim
I was stopped at a light when the guy behind the person behind me hit them, driving them into me. The damage to my car (my daily driver, not the 911) seem mostly cosmetic; a small crease in the plastic bumper and some trading of paint. The car has never been in any kind of accident before and I'm wondering what a Carfax report on my car might do to resale value or trade in in the future.
If I file a claim with this guy's insurance company (State Farm), will they report it to Carfax?
If so, any guess on what percentage value I could expect to lose if there's a Carfax report on my car?
What can I expect if I attempt to file a diminished value claim with the insurance company?
Luckily, my experience with this kind of crap is minimal, so any advice/guidance is really appreciated.
