Question
I have a 2005 Subaru Impreza with 80k miles. Recently I had and accident in a parking lot and the trunk lid was damage. Estimates for repair are around $1500. I would only pay my deductible. Is it worth repairing for the overall value of the car?
sorry for the delay in answering....computer issues have kept me from getting on.
Yes it is worth repairing....if your priorities change in 6 months and u have to sell the car it will not hold the value with the existing damages. It is a good idea to try and keep up with the appearance.
