Default Minor Damaged Reported...

Exploring trading in my .1 to a .2 and saw this one around my area that I'm interested in. Looking at the Carfax report, there was 1 accident reported. No airbag deployed. Mileage is good, has the options I wanted. I LOVE the interior. Before I even spend that few hundos for a PPI, should I even bother? I know the accident will stick to the car forever and whatever I do with it later when it comes to selling, it'll be considered.

Do you think the listed price of 88k has the accident baked in? It'll still be in warranty for the foreseeable future.. there's some safeguarding there.

Private party or dealership?
Can you get a copy of the repair receipt?

minor front damage and vehicle towed/not driveable seems contradictory/suspect.. probably not a typical fender bender?

Not really. You puncture a radiator, ya can't drive it.

that's not that minor, i think cosmetic bumper damage can be called minor but i guess the definition is subjective

I’m probably in the minority here but an accident to me is not a dealbreaker - it can even be *GASP* a way to get into a nice vehicle that’s been overlooked due to that blemish at a great price point (notice how I’m NOT saying you should pay the same as a NON accident vehicle). Assuming I’m comfortable with the results of a thorough PPI, I’d offered 15% less then what I would pay for a vehicle with a “perfect” carfax/collision history and settle at around 10% (maybe even SLIGHTLY less if it had CPO).Good luck, nice color combo!

For the right price, go for it. But just know that a dealer will want to pay you less down the road. An enthusiast will want to pay less too, but with a receipt would maybe be more ok with it.

A week before I traded my Z in I got my mirror hit. Barely a smudge but the driver ran off so I called the cops.

Could not notice the damage but low and behold the Carfax showed a minor accident.

Just perspective.

Are you talking about the gasket not being installed properly?

Same. Not seeing anything. Unless you're talking about color of the mats.

That's in line with what I'm thinking. If PPI is good, what would be the right price is the big question.
