I have a 2005 mustang gt and I got in a wreck in august 09. I was at stop sign at intersection and a truck ran his stop sign and hit my passenger side. It wasnt totalled (no salvage title either) but had to replace most of passenger side (door, and both quarter panels) and a couple parts that hold wheel on. No Frame Damage, and everything was replaced with brand new ford parts, no aftermarket crap. I dont know what this is worth because i know it loses value and kelly blue book doesnt help. Should I sell it or keep it? My pics in profile is of the car after it was repaired...you cant tell it was wrecked....then i got the mod itch.
If you have the mod itch, I would keep it. In fact, unless you suddenly hate your car, I would keep it anyway. Just cause it was hit and fixed doesn't make it any worse.
If you love the car and it was fixed right, why worry about what its worth? The values on these things keep dropping by the minute. I plan on keeping mine forever. I guess the bottom line is if you want to keep it or not, only you can answer that question.
^+1 all goind points. If you try to trade it now your going to get bottom dollar. Due to it being hit and the economy. Than your going to turn around and get what?
I would suggest that if you try to trade it in, they will be able to determine that it has been wrecked, and you can expect about 10% less than what KBB.com tells you it's worth. but even that's arguable.
