Honda Odyssey EX Van Diminished Value Case Study – Philadelphia, PA
This detailed case study examines the diminished value of a Honda Odyssey EX Van with only 19,335 miles that was involved in a severe front and rear collision causing $14,255.71 in damage. The vehicle was disabled and towed, sustained structural (frame) damage, but had no airbag deployment.
The owner hired an independent auto appraiser and filed a third-party inherent diminished value claim. Even with professional repairs, a vehicle with a significant accident history and structural damage on Carfax is worth substantially less in the marketplace.
Obtaining a professional diminished value report from a licensed Pennsylvania auto appraiser is the most effective way to recover your loss.
