4th July nightmare :(((( Wrecked Z

I want to add my sympathies to what has already been posted here, so you know how much support you have. We all feel for you.

When I went to trade in my rear-ended car a couple of years ago, I was told it was worth about 20% less because of the accident. This was in spite of a frame-straightening repair that the shop promised was "as good as new". Be aware of this before you agree to any settlement!

Best of luck.

That's why you get diminished value after your car has been wrecked.

Actually, what I got was screwed. Diminished value was a few bucks...not the $1500 I lost. I consider it the cost of my education, which I try to pass on as best I can.

You didn't get beat by the insurance co.on diminished value you got beat by the dealer when you traded it in.

Diminished value is based on allot of things some of them are which parts were replaced,which were repaired,how many structure pieces got replaced and so on.

It doesn't matter what insurance co. you have diminished value is figured out by a odd formula they all go by,they look at the repair bill and it is calculated by that.
