They used to laugh at you and shut down diminished value pretty hard, but that is no longer the case, so definitely pursue.

Yes, I was pissed because I chose to stop closer to home vs stopping at a nice McDonald's in A better corner of town. Meaning usually better customers than the trash that hit us. Less risk I guess.

Already have discovered a invalid address written down by the driver, shows up as a vacant lot.

Insurance didn't seem to complain though, I had a valid policy and insured. Hopefully she doesn't deny anything. (And Why I call first)

Ifeel for you. My bimmer got nailed in a hail storm yesterday, which sucks. Insurance has been pretty cool about it, but its another that I have to deal with.

Companies I've worked for even have depreciated value desks, so you should absolutely push for it.

That sucks, Gnihcraes...I'm sorry that happened to ya.

I know what you all mean about Carfax. I've been looking at cars to replace my 1999 Chrysler and there's one on Autotrader that looks great BUT ... it has an accident report on Carfax. I've had to have my frame straightened after someone ran into me (9 days after I bought it!) and it drives great. You couldn't ever tell it had been in an accident from driving it -- haven't even had to touch the alignment in 7 years or so. Despite that personal experience, I'm leery about buying someone else's car when I see the accident report on Carfax, especially with it being out-of-state. Someone somewhere is going to get a great deal on that car but the report definitely messes with sellability and future value.

I have a friend that only found out his car had a fender bender when he tried to sell it. He had a carfax on purchase that showed no record of damage. Apparently the dealer or carrier delayed reporting it. Turned out it was a minor scratch/dent issue from the car hauler unload and had no real bearing on the eventual resale.
