If a car is in an accident, and the repair shop restored it to new condition (no bent frame, new parts, paint, airbag, etc.), why does it still lose value in as a trade in, if it is otherwise in great condition, with low miles?

One could argue that no car is ever going to be fully restored. The amount of work involved, to find microscopic damage, it would basically become a case of the ship of Theseus, replacing most parts until it is a brand new car. A big enough accident, and the chassis may be permanently compromised, even if still road legal.
