So to make a long story short we are looking to trade my wife's 2015 Cherokee Trailhawk in on a 2014-2016 Grand Cherokee. She always wanted the GC but we settled on the Trailhawk and now we have enough positive equity to make the trade.
Here's the issue. In the spring I borrowed her car and it has an auto start/stop feature. When I was at a light the car lunged and I was too close to the guy in front of me and I tapped him, and I mean tapped. The dick bag had no damage on his car other than a scuff that can be buffed out , none on mine either, but of course he has to call the cops and file a report. He's also trying for a personal injury claim and my insurance isn't having it just to explain the type of shit head this guy is. Anyways we found a GC at the dealer we originally bought the Cherokee from and we gave them our info to get a trade value. The salesman said the car was in an accident and it may effect the value. The car isn't damaged, has never been repaired and is showing an accident based on the police report. Can they devalue the trade because of this? How hard can I push back?
