So sorta unrelated but not really:
A guy I know was talking yesterday to me about my car. He was asking if I had ever considered going with something slower that would keep me from being a dumb ass. I told him yes (I have, but I find it better to learn to control myself than just go with a car that can't handle it). He mentioned to be that I could lose as much as $10k on trade in now because of this accident.
The only parts damaged were: Front bumper lip, radiator mounts, ac condenser, water pump, and intercooler. All were replaced with OEM new parts at a dealer body shop and none were structural parts of the car. No steering, frame, etc. The suspension wasn't even scratched under the car, nor was the oil pan or anything else.
With the above being the case I really don't see how I'd lose substantial value on the car. I bought it for $25,850 and still think it should be worth at least $23k. Am I just being naive?
