What is the value difference between a car pre accident and after repairs?

A vehicle is worth so much less after
an accident even if it has been perfectly
repaired.

Loss of value always occurs when a vehicle
has been damaged in an accident. Today’s
technology makes it impossible to hide the
vehicle’s accident history.Merely returning the vehicle to its prior appearance and function does not return the vehicle to its pre-accident value.
Accident records are readily available to
everyone and this information is used by
potential buyers to negotiate a significantly
lower purchase price. It will cost you, the
victim, thousands of dollars in loss especially
if you own a vehicle that is high end or less
than 5 years old.
