Takes many pictures and keep a copy of the estimate for your future buyers. If it's minimal it shouldn't hurt resale, but you need documentation. Do you file an accident report? Did you get an estimate? Keep in mind body shops may try to claim more damage than necessary to make more money. In this situation less is more! Good luck!

Yep, there is a lot of damage that cane hiding behind there. Get it checked out just to be sure. The impact bars could have been impacted, it doesnt take too much honestly.

Fix it, and then consider your car no longer a virgin--ready for the city streets.

Sorry to hear about the accident. If you leased the car it will have to be fixed otherwise there will be a penalty at the end of the lease. Alternatively if the car was purchased if will suffer additional depreciation from a CarFax report. Either way returning the car 100% to it's condition before the accident is the least that should be expected.
