What is the point of spending money on repairs anyway?

[ChrisW83]

So I took my car to a "we buy any car" place that offered me a good price online because prices on autotrader have plummeted for Puntos like mine in the last few months. I didn't declare any bodywork damage because all of it had been professionally repaired. But they didn't go through with the sale because some of the paint was thicker on one side of the car, not that it was visibly noticeable, but was picked up with a magnetic resonanance tool.

I just don't understand why a car's value is significantly less if a repair has been done that no one can even see.

Argh!

That new Panda from fiatsupasaver.com or broadspeed will have to wait til after the recession.
