I'm have a very hard decision to make. I finally found the perfect car, test drove it... inspected it and everythign is great. EXACTLY what I'm looking for.

I pull up a CarFax just in case.... everythign is clean. Title is clean... no hail damage.. nothing EXCEPT a Collision Repair Facility has been reported. How serious is this?

What I'm worried about with this one is resale value.... its very importent to me and I'm afraid that when I try to resell the car and someone pulls up a carfax and sees that little minor flaw they will get scared off.

Here is a screen shot of the carfax:



I rather have the car in an minor accident and have a clear carfax cuz its a lot easier to sell this way... I dunno what to do but I know that if I buy this car with this type of carfax it'll be a problem selling it later on and I cant risk that.

Let me know what you guys think and what you would do in my situation.

ask the guy to show proof if he went to a quality body shop they should have his history saved in their system. personally i wouldnt because when you try to sale. it will just be a headache. although the cl is the chasis they race in europe and the hr guy at my work has a 325cl that ***** on m3's for about 15k cheaper

i think it should be fine, when i got my civic it was in a minor accident (fender bender painted bumper) i knew this and everythign was fine, no problems, but i dunno about resale value, it doesnt matter since its stayin with me for a long time..if i was in ur situation, n everythin was fine, i would just get it.

Could've been a minor incident. But you could get some headaches if you try to sell it later on. There's no more info on the report?

no more info... very vague but somethign definatly happened. i personally dont care what happened cuz the car still has plenty of warrenty.... all i'm concerned about is the head ache when trying to resell it.

my civic flew away very fast cuz everythign was clean as a whistle....

i rather have a car thats been hit or something with a clean carfax cuz resale if much much easier that way.

i'm thinking if i can get the price even lower to compensate for the carfax then there is a chance of me buying it but i cant pay average retail for this.
