I didn't know you could collect for the reduced market value of your car
after an accident repair, but the articles at www.claimsreporter.com say you
can. I know most people will not buy a car with a bad Carfax unless it's
offered at a big discount. Anyone else know about this stuff?

Last year got 10% of the value of my MB in diminished value after a
rear end collision. ($2,250). My own insurance company (uninsured
motorists claim)
Three years before, got $3k from State Farm when one of their insured
members hit my Volvo wagon.
Most insurance companies will send yo a form if you ask for it...but
will not 'advertise' the fact.
But --- the likelihood of getting such a claim is much lower if the
car has already been in an accident.
