I bought a 2nd hand car that has been in accident and didnt know it – what do people think i should do?
Bought a 2000 commodore from car dealer that i thought was a reputable car dealer. He said they had structural guarantee so thought i was safe. However taking it to my mechanic found it has been in an accident (and stuctural does not mean the body of the car but the chassy etc). It is ok ( a few body imperfections though) but i am really upset about it. Upset at myself as well for not being more careful. Now it is going round and round in my head what to do. I really want to sell it but i am really honest and would have to tell people its been in an accident. I just dont want to keep the car and have the constant reminder and disapointment that i was “done over”. What do other people think? Help please as my mind is stewing over this and i cant believe how upset it has made me.
It looks like you got some responses quickly , so that should tell you your not the 1st person or the last to have this happen to. You had a mechanic look at it, wow , that takes action and desire to be wise. To stew over it is normal especially when your honest and hope ever body would be too,but in the long run you will be better off than the dishonest. As far as the car, believe to sell it to a private buyer who is looking for an honest seller (you) and you may have to sacrifice some money but it is a process that makes you know more people and will make yourself a better, wiser person and teacher to someone else who may go through the same thing.Getting back up after a fall is painful but the irony is still the joy you get from the trial and victory you have over your own reactions.
