So, July 03rd I was involved in a wreck which I will freely admit was my fault and thankfully no one was injured. However my truck sustained damage with repairs right at $15,000. I actually just took possession back after 9 weeks in the shop. Luckily no bent frame or engine damage just all front end components and labor costs. It drives perfectly as if it hadn't even been there amazingly enough!
Now, after talking to others with either bravado or sage advice in there voice, all are recommending I trade via the dealership NOW and beat the inevitable report that will find its way on carfax in due time (how long that takes in NC I just don't know-Heck I'm not even sure if I have to disclose it I've never been asked in the past?)
So my question is do I take a bath when it does come time to trade my 06 probably a year from now or do I beat the carfax report and save $$$ on the trade right now with the inevitable wreck report being added to the history in due time??
What would you do??
