Hey all, long story short, brand new car was involved in a hit-and-run. Luckily, Sentry caught everything, and I was able to get the other driver’s insurance info eventually.

The damage is minor-it could probably be buffed out or heated out but worst case, the bumper might need a full replacement?? That would automatically get reported to Carfax, showing a hit, which I REALLY would love to avoid right now smh.

I’m deciding between a private pay arrangement (to avoid carfax hx) or going through his insurance.

**If anyone has experience with diminished value claims this is my first time learning about it , I’d really appreciate any advice. Thanks so much
