One thing I should say is it took shopping my car around to many dealers. The more the better. Once I got the trade in I wanted, I picked out a car. We will see how it all plays out. And yes my "accident" a.k.a the lower rear diffuser being replaced by insurance has effected my values. People are treating it like it was destroyed and put back together with glue. Meanwhile the reality was the only part that got replaced was the lower rear diffuser. Total out the door including the part and labor to install was less than $400. But it now shows on the autocheck report "rearend collision". Luckily I have the repair paperwork and all attempts to steal it from me based on this accident have been thwarted.

You have no legs to stand on trying to spin a $400 lower rear diffuser replaced by a body shop as a rearend collision that should effect my car's value by thousands of dollars. Anyway no matter. This 1LE will be traded in very soon most likely.
Grats on sticking to your guns and getting the $ you wanted for it, hope your deal goes through as expected. I understand the insurance claim thorn in your side and you did good by having the documentation to back up the "Minor" repair for what it was. Best of luck in the deal
