Quick Question.

If you get into an accident with your car, and it's repaired. How much value does the car drop by? Any rough estimate would be nice. Thanks.

Details of accident: T-Boned, replaced driver's door, rear quarter panel, rear bumper.

Agreed: any car with more than minor panel dent repair should be avoided. The damage described above is far too extensive to consider. Out of alignment door hinges, bent frame, etc. are just a few of the potential future problems you might run into. Too many clean used cars out there to settle on damage repair.

I was t boned at 50mph in the drivers door, damage, when they stopped counting was $22K, it took them a month of fighting but I finally got a check for $24500. If you airbags deployed, it should be totaled.

Good luck, mine was a 2006MCS.
