That depends on a number of things:
- What was the full extent of the damage (do you have a copy of the repair invoice/insurance paperwork?). Can't tell much from a single exterior picture. - Quality of the repair work preformed - Have you had a reputable independent shop do a full inspection of the car? That's where i would start. |

There is always some concern when buying a car that has suffered, at least, moderate damage. It may well be fine or may have a hidden or un-diagnosed issue that becomes apparent later on. You have to weigh that possibility against how much you are willing to pay for a previously damaged car. You should be getting a substantial discount (diminished value) |

That's nothing! You will be fine long term. I've rebuilt worse than that.

So totalled as that car was auctioned on copart.
Depends who did the repair work. As xxxjecxxx2 said, it can be done, but who performed is another thing. What Dealership is Selling a branded title? Most would steer clear. And no BMW warranty on totalled cars. |

No idea how Comp and Collision work, but I am sure they are offered. Bottom line, the car is worth LESS than a car with non-branded title, so that should be taken into consideration. Bottom line, if cars were uninsurable, no one would buy them. |
