2018 BMW 340i — how much does an old accident hurt resale?

MarketBuyer633Community StarterJan 7, 20262018 BMW 340i xDriveLos Angeles
2018 BMW 340i xDrive, about 73,000 miles. Car was repaired well after a moderate accident and drives straight. I am trying to price it honestly several years later. How much do buyers usually discount history compared with equivalent clean-history cars?

The trap is a pretty payment hiding a worse car price. In Los Angeles, insurance quotes flipped a 2018 BMW 340i comparison for me more than the sale price did. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. Not letting add-ons ride along because everyone does.

I'd want competing paper, not competing stories. Ask for out-the-door on the 2018 BMW 340i with fees, add-ons, and rate on separate lines. If they balk, that's your answer. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. PPI guy I use is booked until next week, so I'm waiting.
