I am dealing with insurance after our 2018 ZL1 was hit in a parking lot, and my research on diminished value has me wondering what the actual target audience for ZL1s has to say about accident damage.

Assume the following:

You are looking at two 2017-2019 ZL1s as potential purchases.

The first car has had "minor" damage: fender, bumper cover and some ancillary parts replaced/repainted, no damage to suspension or structure. The repairs were done professionally and perfectly... no indication that there was ever damage, but it's on the Carfax/Autocheck.

Second car is identical in every way, but no damage history.

How much less expensive would the repaired car have to be in order for you to buy it over the never damaged car?
