Your vehicle will
never be the same as it was before the accident and the collision event is recorded and reported to
numerous consumer protection and motor vehicle agencies. Dealers have access to this history as do
consumers, so there is no escaping the financial damage you will suffer when you choose to of sell this vehicle. More mileage and wear & tear will not improve your position.
Consider the following example:
On paper, your vehicle should be worth $11,550 after its repaired. But the vehicle has been in an
accident and it will never be clean again! It has frame & structural damage, vehicle history reports and
lots of paint and repair work. If you elected to repair this vehicle and trade it in, you would suffer a
depreciation hit of more than $2,500 for the accident.
