Fresh off the repair, this BMW X6 looks as sharp as the day it left the showroom. On paper, though, it's now a different car.
A client right here in Coconut Creek contacted Auto Praise Vehicle Evaluation Services after another driver hit their X6 near the intersection of Lyons Road and Sample Road. The repair work was excellent, but the collision is now part of the vehicle's history. When it's time to sell or trade in, buyers and dealers will compare it against X6 models with clean records, and the repaired one will almost always bring less.
That difference is of diminished value, and it doesn't disappear with a good repair. Many owners don't realize that if the accident wasn't their fault, they may be eligible to be compensated by the at-fault party's insurance company for that loss in market value. Insurers do pay diminished value claims, but they usually require a diminished value appraisal to validate the amount. Our independent auto appraisal documents the loss using comparable vehicles with and without accident history.
If you were in an accident that wasn't your fault, book today to find out how the diminished value process works and whether you're eligible.
