Insurance what do you think?

I went through some diminished value in trading my 2008 Audi A4 for my current Z. The A4 was hit and took some minor damage to a rear quarter panel and rim. The repairs came to $1,800 and things were perfect afterwards. On my trade-in, they wanted to give me $1,000 less due to the accident history, despite the damage being fully repaired by a top-tier bodyshop.

and thats exactly what the diminished value claim is for, you recoup that money before you sell it.
