Loss of value on a Prius after a rear end collision?

Here in California, she would get a “Salvage Title” with the damage shown in the pics-- I say this, because my son’s car had similar damage. A car with a salvage title is only worth 50% of the KBB price… no big deal, if you keep the car forever. Me, personally, I would never buy a car with a salvage title… my brother and sister both had salvage title cars, and both caused them constant headaches, before they finally sold them.
