There is an inherent danger in non-disclosure of accident repairs when selling even though the accident doesn't appear on Carfax. Putting the moral issues aside, a subsequent collision to the same area that was repaired could cause a structural failure resulting in injuries, possible lawsuits, etc. If an insurance adjuster should deny or low-ball your claim because it isn't on Carfax, ask them if they are saying that you should withhold the repair info from any prospective buyer. Not one of them will answer yes. Therefore, the "not on Carfax" claim denial approach is easily challenged.
ROFLMDO.
There is an inherent danger in walking across a street, cutting your grass, or even dropping a deuce.
I've yet to hear a dealer / salesperson tell me, oh by the way, that car was in a collision and repaired, when I was grazing around the pre owned lots. Same goes for at the auctions.
