Diminished Value Appraisals

Diminished Value is the decrease in market value as it relates to a vehicle that has experienced a collision. There are three classifications or types of Diminished Value:
-
- Immediate: The decrease in value immediately following a collision. Although you cannot calculate this immediately, once there is an impact, there is a decrease in value.
-
-
Repair-Related: A decrease in value occurs when a vehicle isn’t repaired/returned to its pre-collision condition.
-
-
-
Inherent: After a collision, a vehicle has a damage history. This could cause a decrease in market value. This is assuming that the repaired vehicle is now in pre-loss condition.
-
DCI Solution’s Diminished Value Appraisal determines the Inherent Diminished Value. This diminished value is the most common and widely-used form as related to insurance claims.
