Rear end accident depreciate this much?

NetBoy · 08-06-2009, 04:55 PM

There is a 2009 E90 M3 for $49,000 with very low miles. Looks like it's fully loaded with DCT. Dealer says it was in one accident but not salvage.

No idea how bad of an accident but dealer says it has all paperwork.
Does one accident drop the price that much?

I'd be all over this but I'm stuck until I can sell my E93 M3.

Don't do it imho.

If you can find out exactly what happened and what was repaired/replaced then you will be in a good position to make a decision. I'd only buy it if the accident was minor and the repairs only consisted of a replaced or repainted bumper cover.

+1. get the paperwork before you decide whether the amount of depreciation is too much or too little given the actual accident.

If there was no frame damage, I'd get it.
