A diminished value appraisal of a Porsche 911 4S 6-Speed Automatic Coupe with 16,556 miles that was involved in a right side collision that caused $9,515.31 in damage. The vehicle was not disabled/towed, had structural damage and no air bag deployment. The claimant hired an independent auto appraiser and made a third-party inherent auto diminished value claim for the vehicle’s loss in value. Once a car is repaired after a collision, it is worth less, often much less depending on the severity of the damage. Regardless of how well the repairer did his job, nobody will pay as much for a previously wrecked car as they would for an identical one that was never in an accident. Presenting a diminished value claim and following it through to a satisfactory conclusion is a daunting task for the average person. Obtaining a comprehensive Diminished Value Report is key.

We learned from these examples from sales managers at Porsche dealerships in North Florida – One dealer said normally when there is frame damage you can expect 35% less in trade and you would also have normal depreciation as well. Another dealer said that because it is a few years older there will be less of a hit than there would be if it was brand new if the car were 40k you may lose 20k depending on the extent of damage and what the report says.
