You might not care, but *every* person I know would care. Every time I buy or sell a car, it makes the buyer more hesitant to buy the car and therefore lowers the market value of the car. The demand for a car that has been in a major accident and has been restored is less, regardless of how good the restoration. Period.

More over, no restoration is perfect because it connects materials that are non-homogenous. With temperature changes and all kinds of stress and exposure, there is a complete certainty there will be cracks, rust, or other problems in the future of the car, more so than in an undamaged car. So even if you say you don't care if a vehicle has been restored, you are making a mistake. And of course, if you are already the owner of the said car, you should be just as worried.
