Some of you who think an accident doesn't affect your resale value are mistaken. I learned this the hard way a few months ago when I went to trade in my 2012 Ram that had been rear ended a year before. It was on the Carfax report and cost me at least $2,500 off trade in value. I had $4000 in damage to my truck. Accidents happen. I wasn't aware of filing a diminishing value claim until reading this post but wondered about why there wasn't something to compensate us for that loss of value when its not our own fault.


Pic of my truck. And he young lady's SUV who hit me.
