This article concerns an auto diminished value claim – the diminished value appraisal of a Tesla Model 3 Long Range Sedan with 5,000 miles that was involved in a front collision in San Bernardino, California that caused $1,445.33 in damage. The vehicle was not disabled/towed, had no 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 from a California licensed auto appraiser is key.

We learned from these examples from sales managers at exotic new car dealerships in Southern California- One dealer said that they could still resell and certify and would maybe only impact it around 10%. It does diminish the value because its still been in an accident. Another dealer explained that typically they don’t like to keep anything that’s been involved in an accident. It would have to be very minor damage and would potentially lose around 10% of it’s trade-in value.
