Sorry Meaux but, this is not correct. If the repairs are made professionally, it will have no effect on resale. I recently repaired my neighbor's Expedition before he traded it in($1700 worth of repairs). The dealer went over it with a fine tooth comb and never even noticed what I had fixed which was the hood, headlamp, grille and bumper.
The only way this may have any truth would be if they reported it to carfax. BTW, unless it's totalled, flooded or stolen, most accidents aren't reported to them. That is at the insurance company's discretion.
Things happen and no one was hurt. Let them fix your vehicle. I'm sure they are gonna make sure that the repairs are 100% professional, especially given the circumstances. Also, color matching isn't always as tricky as people make it out to be when you have the area to blend the colors.
Give em a chance to fix what they screwed up on. Or, tell em you want my shop to fix it!!!!! I'll hook ya up!
