If you're satisfied with the repair and driveability then ok, no one can answer that but you. However, a buyer should never pay retail for a car with accident damage, especially structural because I guarnatee you'll eat when trying to off load it down the line.
Cars with accident history go like this....
Anyone selling one, dealer or personal: "It was just a minor accident, everything was fixed to facotry spec and there's no problem, that's why it's priced at retail.....relax man". This is even if the car exploded and flew into a lake.
Anyone wanting to buy or take in an accident car on trade: "There's no way we can pay anywhere near retail for this, no one will want it, the history can't be guarnateed". This is the case even if it the car had a minor collision with a shopping cart.
Just keep all of that in mind when you break out the checkbook. Good luck.
