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?

The problem is that you have to convince people of that ‘restored it to new condition’. While it’s not impossible they could do that, it’s also really common that cars in an accident are never the same no matter how much work you do. So people don’t want to buy them.
