I'm planning to make an offer on a used Civic. It's a year old with low kms. It's in excellent condition.

The owner was honest upfront and said the car was in a small fender bender. CARFAX showed up fine and CARProof listed the insurance claim. The rear bumper was fixed at one of the better body shops.

I was planning to use an average of the Goldbook, Blackbook and VRM Canada as a starting offer. Is this the usual practice? I've only dealt with buying new before.

I was wondering if the fender bender should factor in the price too.

Thanks!

Anything and everything can be factored into the price, cause your the one buying it
