Diminished Value of Q7 due to Repaired Accident

How much does a (repaired) accident actually affect the price I should expect to pay?
I'm comparing 2019 Q7 Premium Plus from Audi dealer CPO (used by dealer as company vehicle) vs a Prestige Q7 from CarMax (previously a leased vehicle reportedly involved in a minor accident). Both vehicles have similar mileage and in-service time.
I'm attempting to get a copy of the accident report using VIN for a better narrative of actual damage; is there a general percentage I should expect the car to be reduced in value?
Thanks,

Of course I know an accident, however minor, would affect value of the car. But by how much? if we can't see it under the hood or body - and the car looks pristine - who doesn't like to get a 'really great deal' !??
(or, am I inviting trouble because ... whoever owned it last immediately sent it to auction?)
