Or it might depend on severity of the accident. Like what happened to ours where someone backed into it and dented the door panel. Vs something at a higher speed with airbags deployed and likely structural damages. But I dunno how you would clearly define that.
Yeah hopefully that's the case. Once you get into structural territory, that's when cars start having random unexplainable issues even after they've been repaired. I should keep looking and see if I can find any CPOs where the airbag deployed (sometimes that's in the Carfax). Wish you could filter listings specifically for cars with accidents LOL.
