2022 Volvo XC90 — how much does an old accident hurt resale?

TowDailyCommunity StarterOct 7, 20252022 Volvo XC90 RechargeBrooklyn
2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge, about 54,000 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? If I figure it out I will update the thread. What would you check next?

Hard-won lesson from my last deal: Keep sale price, trade, and financing split on the 2022 Volvo XC90 so a “good payment” cannot bury a worse deal. I'd rather lose the car than buy a foggy deal. On “how much does an old accident hurt,” that was the fork that mattered for me. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.

Walk if they won't put it on a buyer’s order. If one piece looks too good on the 2022 Volvo XC90, hunt doc fees, accessories, and the APR next. That's the part that actually changes the decision. This is from a 2022 Volvo XC90 in Brooklyn with 54,000 miles. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.

If I were shopping this, in Brooklyn, insurance quotes flipped a 2022 Volvo XC90 comparison for me more than the sale price did. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. This is from a 2022 Volvo XC90 in Brooklyn with 54,000 miles. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. I'll update if anything new shows up.

Compare apples to apples or you'll get spun. Keep sale price, trade, and financing split on the 2022 Volvo XC90 so a “good payment” cannot bury a worse deal. If they balk, that's your answer. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. I'll post OTD once I have two apples-to-apples sheets.

I asked about how much does an old accident hurt again and they still won't put GAP/add-ons on their own lines. If the VIN lookup is clean I'm still doing PPI.
