I've requested a copy of the police report. If indeed it indicates there's no damage I will most certainly attempt to contact Carfax to get it removed. I'll update this thread with what happens.

I would not buy an accident car but if I met you and believed your story (and had the police report) I would pay full value. I think your stuck as far as dealers go. The insurance company is not going to pay for DM if there was no damage. Worth a shot but I'm thinking a loser. A dealer will probably pay 30% less and sell for 10% less than list on a car with a ding.
Does the police report note that there was no damage? If so, you can contact CarFax and see if they will remove the incident. Or/And have the dealership inspect the car and report the lack of damage as well. They apparently take about two weeks or so to respond, but it's worth a try.
