Agree with hanging onto the repair information. My SUV was hit while parked and suffered minor damage. When I traded it in I brought the repair info to explain the carfax and got a decent price.
Don't agree with not reporting the accident. Not sure if that is legal or not.
Did not say not to report the accident to the police. I said to inform the bodyshop, and insurance company in writing that you do not authorize them to report anything to any third parties! This means Carfax, AutoCheck and the like.
If you report an accident to the police Carfax will get it. To try to hide the fact a vehicle was in an accident is, at best, dishonest and may be, at worst illegal.
