I'd be surprised if you will be able to get it repaired that quickly given current delays with parts (if needed). But I wouldn't say anything to the dealer otherwise. They sure as hell wouldn't be forthcoming if the roles were reversed, and it would be solely on you to dig. They will also exploit the situation to pay you way less than an actual fair diminished value. So let them dig. There's a chance if they do a CarFax lookup it won't even be updated with the accident info, either. They will turn right back around and sell it to some other person, who will also bear responsibility with doing their own due diligence.
