If you’re planning on selling it private party, I would file a claim (and keep copious records/photos of how minor). If you’re selling it to a dealer, then I would not file a claim. I figure a private party will discount this less than $1000 on a 10yr old car, but a dealer will want more than $1000 discount on a 2 accident car.
Before you make any decision I would also at least get a second quote from another body shop. Just to confirm the number as you’re in a tight range in terms of what makes financial sense.
