Have you considered Diminished Value?
After your car has been in an accident, there is no question that it is worth less than it was before the accident. Even if you are satisfied with the quality of the repair, you have suffered a financial loss. Think of it this way - if you were in the market for a used car, would you expect to pay the same money for a factory built vehicle, or one that has been repaired? Particularly when you do not know how hard it was hit or how well it was repaired.
Even a high quailty body shop is going to leave evidence of repairs that dealership used car managers are trained to find. And when they find it, you are going to be offered considerably less for it than a factory car. Most Certified Used Car Programs do not allow certification and extended warranty protection for vehicles with a damage history. Therefore it is not a car they are going to be interested in retailing on their lot.
