Yeah, I mean, to fix the aesthetic damage of the car, it would probably cost about 2 to 3 grand. Already got a quote for the bumper where I'd have to pay $580 or so just to replace it. 3 of the 4 doors has a very noticeable scrape in them, so to probably repair and paint each of them would be like $500 a piece.
According to KBB, with my mileage and in "Good" condition, it's worth about 6K. Unless this doesn't sound like "Good" to you?
I do remember trading in my old CR-V (2001) for this Accord and I got like 3 grand for it even though the AC didn't work .
Yeah, you srent getting 2 to 3 grand worth of work out of it. They're gonna buy it for 6k, and either auction it, or put their own cheaper labor into it, and sell it locally. Either way, you don't get out of it what you put in.
Cars are like the anti houses - the less work you put into your car when selling it, the better off you likely are, unless you can do the work yourself.
