If the damaged parts were replaced with oem... then not much. If replaced with aftermarket, the drop is a little more. Also as long as it was just cosmetic and it's been repaired, it doesn't do much to the value as opposed to if something mechanical was damaged.

 

Simple: It depends on how much it will cost to fix. If it is fixed before sale it depends how good a job was done.

Just said in his thread it cost him $1750 to have it fixed. It's obviously been fixed. Read before you post

 

How much would you buy my car for, if you were a potential buyer?

The kbb prices are posted up top. I am thinking about selling the car in the summer.

Btw I fucken hate snow. It looks nice but it’s dangerous .

 

For an Auto LX, you'd probably get around 4-4.5k

 

actually now they have the record of the car on computer. My parents had a Ford Escape that was hit in the back, had it fixed by a body shop(when they got it back you couldnt tell it was in an accident) They went to trade it in on a S 2000 at a Honda dealership when they ran the vin # it came up that it was in an accident and what was replaced. The Honda dealer deducted money for that on the trade in.

 

He wants to know what a private buyer would buy it for, not trade.

 

with those damages, that value of your should sustain itself as if it weren't in an accident, main reason is becasuethe damage is not major at all pretty minor cosmetics.

 

looks like only cosmetic damage, so the price stays virtually the same.

 

damn in the before pics your in snow, in the after pics your in Mud, stop driving on slippery stuff! Find some nice asphalt.

I payed cash and I got it done at Maaco franchise btw they suck but, they were also the cheapest. I was broke at that time.

I highly doubt they would report me to any dealership. Their business ethics are sloppy.

I'd rather just keep it rather than sell it to a pig dealer

fucken Albany New York weather

 

well first off the only way that any accident would come up in the vin is if the car was reported by the police if not your good from there on cause my car was hit in the front and back worst than what you have now. and notting till this day has came up. the hit that you have on your car would cost me about $500 including the front bumper cause its onl $60 for it.

 

I got both the front and back bumpers replaced. They put a clear coat on my hood for some reason and they painted the whole left side. I understand that they paint other undamaged panels to make the paint match but, my left driverside door was un damaged. I wish they didn't paint it cuz they painted the rubber moldings near the door handle. sloppy. They prolly just wanted to charge me.
