I would not advertise this as a "no accidents" car if you had $4K worth of body damage repairs! Just because you did not run into anything does not mean no accidents. I would feel very deceived as a buyer if I found this out. The repaired damage will result in diminished value no matter how great the repair looks. Keep your asking price high but be up front about this repair and expect lower offers as a result.

Good luck.

I guess you are correct but technically, there was no accident as a tree in front of my house fell over. I have all original paper work done on car and list it out as body work, date, mileage, etc. $4000 sounds like a lot but its only because the damage was 4 different panels of car.
