I just went through this...carmax had 2 07 GS's for sale, one with bumper damage one without at least per carfax............I bought the one without damage, but also b/c it was $2000 cheaper, and didn't have nav / backup camera otherwise they were identical cars in mileage age and color.
FWIW in the pics I could see a scratch on the rear bumper....and when I got the car they had done a ****ty repaint job on the bumper and so now I have to get it resprayed again b/c it looks terrible.
so had I known they were going to do a 1/2 assed repair in the first place I would have probably ponied up the extra 2k and got the one that looked perfect in the pics but had the accident on the history.
I think carfax only hurts your resale on a private basis, when it comes time to get rid of your car, if you trade it in they don't care what carfax says b/c you can't rely on carfax to tell the true full history of a car anyways.
