May be the Buyer's best friend and seller's worst enemy. The car I recently sold (Honda S2000) had an incident reported (pedestrian involved accident) which i knew about when I purchased the car. The accident was not severe enough to require the replacement of any panels. Fast forward 1.5 years when i sold the car...both dealers that I went to to trade the car discounted the cars value by $3K just because of the accident, as if the repairs had not been done properly, which they were (I promptly walked and eventually sold the car myself). Lesson learned for me...consider the Carfax report when you buy used and think forward to the impact any negative reports may have on future resale.
