Because of the minimal damage, I doubt it will decrease. If the car was salvage, then that's a different story. I took my car when I got hit in the freeway (entire bumper had to be replaced, and diffuser), to Lexus of Cerritos collision center and I swear try sis such a good job with the paint that you see no difference in color. I would honestly recommend them.

Most dealers repaint the bumpers as part of the CPO prep process anyways.

That is not accurate. His car can absolutely still be a CPO.

So I was at the Lexus dealer asking the service guy a couple of questions about my new GS and I walk out with the service guy only to have him point out some damage on the front of my car. I look down at the car with surprise and disgust and said to him that wasn't there a second ago. Where was the guy that hit me??? There was no note and no one around the car. Classic hit and run. No sooner did someone coming out of dealer saying he saw the whole thing and got a license plate number. His phone number was in the dealer records and we called him to ask him why he just took off. He said he didn't think that it was so bad. WHAT!!! He ended up driving back and I was able to get his insurance information and got an estimate of almost $2000 to fix it.
I'm telling you guys some people these days are such *******s with no respect for anything or anyone but themselves. Those people need to just rot in hell.

Should punch him in the mouth, draw a little blood and tell him, "I didn't think I punched you that hard."
People are so idiotic sometimes. Glad to hear the knucklehead was caught. Did he get a ticket for hit and run or leaving the scene of an accident?

She wasn't charged with any anything. Not even a ticket because it was private property.

But CPO or not, the carfax will register the accident because of the insurance payout. The problem is that's all it will say. It doesn't go into details that only one body panel needed painting.
If I saw that on a carfax, I would walk away and look for another one. Or if I really wanted that particular car, I would use that as leverage for a better deal.

LOL, cars are repaired all the time. Its not 100% that it will even show up on a Carfax. Our Prius had $3,000 worth of hail damage repaired...covered by insurance, not on the Carfax. My 2010 ES was hit and the bumper was repainted, covered by insurance. Not on the Carfax.
When cars are out in the world they get damaged.

I know that the police will typically not get involved for damage to cars while on private property, but injury/death is (should be) another matter.
I know that even for no-injury type scenario, though the person can't be charged under traffic code, but the person can be charged under civil code (at least in TX). How did this negligent driver get away with killing your mother (accident or not) and not get any citation?
(I'm sorry for your loss, and am not questioning whether this happened - just wondering how crazy the law is to allow something like this to happen!)
