Did my sibling get a fair deal on a 2017 Honda Accord with bumper damage and prior accident history?
My sibling recently bought a used 2017 Honda Accord with around 100,000 miles, and we’re trying to figure out if it was a good deal or something to be cautious about.
Located: Virginia
Listed price: about $16,000
Discount: about $2,800 (due to damage)
Final price: about $14,000
Down payment: about $3,000–$6,000 (not fully sure of exact breakdown)
Financed amount: around $10,000
APR: 9.49%
48-month loan
Monthly payment: about $250
Condition notes:
Dealer said the damage was cosmetic
There is a sizable crack in the bumper that was not repaired. It’s 7 inches long.
Vehicle history reportedly shows a “moderate damage collision” from ~8 years ago
Dealer stated there is no structural damage
She already took the car off the lot, but I’m trying to get outside opinions on whether this was a fair deal or if we should be concerned.
Main question:
Does a ~$2,800 discount realistically cover a cracked bumper + prior moderate accident history on a 2017 Accord with ~100k miles, or is this a situation where we should be more cautious?
Would appreciate input from mechanics, body shop people, or anyone familiar with used Honda pricing.
