My car was welded back together after some lady rear ended me at 50mph. Basically, they cut the car from the rear quarter glass and welded on a complete new section and put in a new rear glass. How much a hit would this be to the car's value. I ask this because I'm thinking about trading it in and getting another car. If I try to sell it myself, as soon as I tell a buyer what happened they'll probably run. I don't want to sell it to somebody with kids. Could I trade it in and use it toward the purchase of an S4? Or should I just pay it off, keep it and instead get a G35 coupe. Oh and yesterday someone hit me in the parking lot at work and didn't even have the decency to leave a note so now a bumper and fender needs to get fixed. The body shop did a good job on everything except the paint and I haven't had any problems with the car since the accident. Thanks.

In most states you have to disclose that amount of damage. Value gone.

Trust me I wasn't going to hide that info

And I think you only have to disclose if the damage was over a certain amount? From my experience, most dealers won't care too much if the damage is minor. Something that big, they're going to care though.
