WYCENA OBNIŻONEJ WARTOŚCI SAMOCHODÓW

We report on the most interesting articles concerning auto diminished value claims in Mississippi. This article details the diminished value appraisal of a Toyota RAV4 Limited FWD SUV with 84,640 miles that was involved in a left rear collision that caused $2,541.64 in damage. The vehicle was not disabled/towed, had no structural damage and no air bag deployment. The claimant hired an independent auto appraiser with service in Mississippi 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.
