Murphy's law is a b!tch.

So, I spent all afternoon removing my stereo and reinstalling my factory stereo, because tomorrow, I was going to take my van to CarMax and see if I could get a good trade in price for it. You see, I'm going to Greece this fall, so I'm selling the van and then when I get back, I will get a smaller car with better fuel economy. Well, I got a monkey wrench thrown in that whole plan today.

I was in a turn lane to go right, and the coast was clear, so I started to go, but a car pulled a u-turn in front of me, so I hit the brakes. The woman behind me kept going. Hooray for a much lower trade-in/resale value //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif

Agreed, same thing I ran in to with my audi. Has report of an accident where airbags were deployed on it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif car blue books for 12k, cars with my mileage go for 9k, carmax offered me 4k... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

Funny thing was, the lady works for the police department. The cop got out of the car and laughed at her.

If you sell it fast after getting it fixed wouldn't it take some time to get through the registry and show up on a car fax?

Ouch, that really *****. Did the air bags deploy? It shouldn't mess up the value too much, unless there is frame damage, and then your screwed.

No airbags, only thing wrong is that the van thinks the door is open. That will be fixed with a new hatch. but yeah, it looks like the van itself is alright, there might be a little bit of damage to the body right above the bumper, though. I'm not going to open it and check it out, though for fear that it won't shut again.
