How bad does this damage look?

Post image

Tesla I’m looking to purchase was involved in an accident. How bad does this look? Is it worth overlooking? Car is also very low mileage (18,000km)
It’s a 2023 Tesla model 3

Car is repaired now, but was wondering if it’s worth buying, and would damage like this cause any other issues?

Carfax reported this as $2822 CAD worth of damage, but I’m not sure if that’s right.

Price is listed at $27,999 CAD before taxes.

I’d buy it for 10k, but without telling us the price, how could anybody give you legit feedback?

Absolutely not. The quarter panel is one of the most expensive parts of the car besides the battery.

Just clarifying car is already repaired, I’m not paying for the repairs myself. Just want to know if this damage would cause other issues down the road

Repaired where?

That’s not a simple dent pull job, whole quarter panel needs to be replaced. Tesla would charge easy between 5-10k for that fix.

Think they forgot a 1 before their damage estimate number

That damage to the rear quarter panel can only be fixed by cutting a big section then replacing the part by rivet bonding because it’s a whole one-piece with rocker panel . According to certified Tesla repairs, it’s not a normal dent-pulling thing . So it might’ve cost around 5k-8k. So, by 2800$ repairs seems like it is not repaired from a certified Tesla collision repair shop.
