Time for the guessing game...
Knowing the car will have to be repaired/repainted...
What would be an appropriate price for this car. It will eventually be sold as a certified used car with 60k miles from Lexus. 2004, UL...

I work next to a BMW dealer. Every day a mobile paint truck comes rolling in fixing dings, nicks and scratches on the cars in their lot. Also, very ofter, a mobile wheel repair truck also shows up to recondition the curbed wheels from trade ins and loaners. I'm pretty sure they would certified those cars after the works been done on them. As long as no frame damage, it would be OK.
And for those of you who will say they would never buy a car that's been painted or in an accident, you probably already have but don't know it

it is amazing what they will sell....i got a steal on my 03 ES because the lexus dealer bought the car to certify since it has low miles (68k) and it has a clean carfax and a lexus service history, but the whole drivers side was repaired (poorly) by the dealership and they couldent sell it...long story, i bought a certified "project car" from lexus that i have to spend 1k in bodywork on....im a toyota tech so i dont mind fixing things and getting bodywork done, but for the average consumer i highly reccomend doing your homework and making careful inspections because toyota/lexus will "certify" many shady cars...i work for a dealer and ive seen it before.
