2023 Nissan Z — how much does an old accident hurt resale?

FlatSixSeller714Community StarterJul 22, 20262023 Nissan Z PerformanceNashville

2023 Nissan Z Performance, about 34,000 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?

Insurance and tax belong in the comparison, not as a surprise. A written buyer’s order on the 2023 Nissan Z is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” If they balk, that's your answer. On “how much does an old accident hurt,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Did the worksheet show tax yet? If they get vague again I'm shopping the deal elsewhere.
