    Why pay market for a car with a reported accident. Better options out there.

    Doesn't really strike me as special for that price, not to mention the accident, which might have been minor. Better off looking for a 2018 with similar miles and far more options, at a lower price. To me, a 2019 is no more special than a previous year's. I have a 2018 and can't imagine owning anything else.

    Looks like a low option car. I personally would not buy a 488 unless it has the Goldrake seats. They are so much better looking. Also- this car has zero carbon. Find one w it h carbon as it should not affect the price too much on resale. Also- I’d look for a no story 16 or 17 car. There is no difference and you can easily save 25-30k.

    I would pass on this particular model.

    What was the accident in this car? That will kill the price by what 15-25%?

    I have these same seats in my car...I believe I’d prefer the race seats but I know there are those that prefer electric fully adjustable seats.

    Any accident is a deal killer for me.

    Too many good examples out there to bother with a wrecker.

    I would say it depends on the actual accident, price the car is discounted and buyers intentions for the car. I’m not saying this car, but I feel your statement is a little broad.

    Why buy an overpriced car that has been in an accident and will cost you dearly on resale, when there is no paucity of minty vehicles on the market right now and for the foreseeable future? There is no need to settle on such a car. My statement is intentionally broad.
