You are screwed when you go to sell. Doesn't matter if insurance covered costs for repairs, you have a damaged (repaired) truck with a bad car fax now. Probably $5K less than a non damaged Raptor on trade/sale.

That's right. Get a Diminshed Value report done and you can get a check for thousands as soon as the other person's insurance
settles up. I had an Infiniti M35 Sport that an old lady ran into from the side in a parking lot, 4 weeks after I bought it new. Her insurance paid directly for the repairs and I received a check for about $6,000 to compensate me for the DV just a few weeks later.
When doing the cash quote pricing is there a section that allows you to put that the car was in an accident? If not how do you notate it's been in an accident so you can obtain that value.
Once you get cash quote from the websites listed above showing a crash you would then subtract that from retail, trade or private sale value?
I'm currently dealing with a recent accident and don't want to get screwed on DV claim.
Thanks for the advise and experience in this matter.

Was a passenger that was t ***** by a Prius, everyone else in the truck ( 1st gen ridgeline) was ok, I just had my second back surgery, fusion, from the accident. I know the Prius is the perfect anti raptor vehicle but even they can do serious damage under the right circumstances.
As for the smug stuff didn't hear about any of that when the ridgeline was fixed.

This varies by state though, so OP will need to be cognizant of whether an adjuster is trying to dodge the claim, or if their state's insurance laws don't require it.

Raptors come pre-installed with max levels of smug, it just isn't noticeable because the truck is cool enough to back it up.
Glad you're coming out relatively unscathed, OP.
Not sure. I got a report done by a person locally that specializes in doing these reports. He was a former insurance adjuster.

mercedes hit my 19 2nd day I owned it in a parking lot , I was upset but it was an old guy and his wife god told me to be nice I let him go on about his way and I paid out of pocket to replace Reese hitch he bent . his Mercedes didn't have a scratch I could not believe it . do onto others as you would want them to do to you . my dad taught me well . I was bummed tho . pass it on 2020 guys , we are fortunate to drive trucks that little kids dream of
I don't care what the voices in my head are saying- if some old dude hits my truck and they are driving a Mercedes, they are paying to fix it.
If they were driving a 1994 Cavalier complete with mismatched chi-com tires, purple faded tint and peeling paint, OK sure, I would help them out too.
If I damaged someone's truck, I would not expect them to eat the cost of repairs just because I've been on this planet longer than them.

Your Avatar looks a lot worse than the story you just mentioned! Is that your truck, now?
