Somewhat off topic but if I can spare someone this trouble it'll be worth it.
Side note: I avoid using insurance 99.9% of the time just because of this. I got a Range Rover in the stable and in 2017 someone hit the mirror off while the car was parked on the street. I was busy at the time so I took it to a shop JUST TO GET A OUT OF POCKET QUOTE. The quote was ridiculous and they wanted me to paint the whole side of the car thinking I'm some fool. I told them to kiss my ass and left. The next day I found the complete mirror on United Kingdom eBay for 1/10th price the dealers wanted. I ordered it and DIY it in my garage. 3/2019- I go to Range Rover to trade the truck in for a newer one. Surprise surprise accident and damage report. Carfax shows the WHOLE LEFT side has been hit. I didn't even remember the mirror incident, I had carfax do a research report and some dumbass woman emails me a generic response saying my Vin came up on a service shop estimate so the damage is valid. The trucks value lost $4000 because of this. Carfax is the biggest piece of shit. I've had cars nearly totaled that I paid out of pocket to fix that had clean car faxes and I went to get a estimate on a mirror cover by a dishonest shop and lost $4000. I would never get a estimate with my vin ever again. Carfax can go fuck themselves a useless tool. |

Funny I was looking at the carfax of the leased car I just turned in. Not one entry of the maintenance at the BMW dealer, but every time I got an alignment or tire changed it's on there.

My 7 had a ton of work done on the engine and turbos and the carfax only shows they replaced a coolant reservoir which they didn't even do. I think they know certain things can affect a value |
