Default Looking at a S2000

Please help me find out if there is something wrong with this car.

I am thinking about trading in my 2002 Yellow S2000 for this one.

Could someone do a carfax report for me?

Thanks again for pointing that out. I didn't even notice the icon right there.

Carfax shows the car had an accident but there wasn't anything else reported about it.

How much does a mild crash bring down the value of a car like this?

Mild crash probably does not bring the value down on the car at all. For instance, having to replace the bumper with an oem bumper should not reduce the value of the car if everything is repaired to factory specs.

Thank you for your reply.

If body work had to be done like using bondo on a panel and repainting would that reduce the value?

i would think that an accident would lower the value no matter what.

An accident definitely lowers the value.

I'm getting conflicted information.

Does a minor accident lower the value or a car? If so how much does it lower the value of the car?

Thanks for the replies
