Question:
Please help! the blue book value (trade in) for my car is $12,000 but I had a "fender bender" and is now fixed, the KBB shows the value of 12,000 but how much is a car depreciated when a CARFAX shows an accident, again it is a small accident but this information will not show on a carfax report, it would only show: involved in accident, what would be the new value for the car? and how can I try to get the most of the trade in at the dealer? Thanks a million!

I am thinking about buying a subaru impreza, but know nothing about these cars?
Take your million and go to yahoo autos to do your own damn research.an accident will decrease the value of the car, amount depends on the severity of the accident and the quality of the repair.
is it possible to lease a used car?
you won't get the most trade-in from a dealer - they pay wholesale. sell it retail yourself through the newspaper or sites like autotrader.com or cars.com
Take the car to a well respected auto body / collision shop. Tell them your problem and ask them for a inspection report that says the car is good, no frame damage etc. Make sure they put the date and the VIN on the report. If any question comes up about the cars integrity due to the car fax, show them the report and offer to let them take the car to the body / collision shop of their choice to have the car inspected.

the book value has no depreciation for a wrecked car no matter how bad the accedent is - that would be determined by the market.More Questions & Answers ...
