The MKV had two much bigger incidents on it's carfax report and every time I got a trade in quote for it they used it as an excuse to give me a downright offensive offer.
"Well it looks like you have a couple carfax inci-"
"Yeh, looks like they were both early on in the car's life and both repaired at VW dealerships"
"Well, that may be but it's still going to impact your value, looks like it's saying the the trade in offer is $5500"
"No fucking way, go talk to your manager"
"Well what are you looking to get for the car sir?"
"What it's worth."
Then he scurries off and comes back 5 minutes later with an offer right on trade-in market value. I hope people don't actually fall for that bullshit and take like 60% of their car's value because it has a fender bender on the report.
