When trading in, the fact that it's a car will depreciate it's value.

How so? It revealed an accident on a car that was claimed to be clean. Sound like it worked exactly like it was suppose to.

There is a diminished value of any vehicle in an accident that is recorded...so it is a big deal. Well, if you don't like throwing money away that is.
