    Diminished value claims around Sacramento, CA region

    Update: Been going back and forth with the at fault insurance company. They aren't budging from 2k. I'm having a hard time finding an attorney willing to take the case. I could always go small claims I suppose.

    Diminished value claims around Sacramento, CA region

    Yes, you can still claim DV. Your conflict is technically not with the insurance company, it's with the person who hit you. You are ultimately claiming damages from the at-fault party. And if needed, you would sue the person who hit you, not Geico. However, as the insurance company, Geico...

    Diminished value claims around Sacramento, CA region

    I took my vehicle to a Tesla authorized body shop. In my area, Tesla does not do body work. Quite frankly, not sure I would totally trust Tesla to do this type of work anyway. At least in my state, you can take your vehicle for repairs wherever you want. Insurance companies cannot tell you...

    Diminished value claims around Sacramento, CA region

    The at fault insurance has already accepted responsibility and paid for repairs. At this point, there's really no claim to make with my own company. They aren't going to pursue diminished value for me.

    Diminished value claims around Sacramento, CA region

    I'm still waiting for the insurance company to respond to my appraisal report. Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to find an attorney to consider my case. Apparently, my $26k of alleged diminished value is too low to make it worthwhile.

    Diminished value claims around Sacramento, CA region

    Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's going to go exactly as you said. I'm willing to go all the way to court if needed. That's why I'm trying to line up an attorney now because I'm pretty sure I'm going to need one.

    Diminished value claims around Sacramento, CA region

    Thanks for the reply. The amount of 26k was averaged using actual quotes from 6 different car dealers in my area and comparing to the pre-accident estimated value of $67k. Carvana's offer is 45k. Similar to what these dealerships would offer. The car has apparently lost 30-40% in value due to...

    Diminished value claims around Sacramento, CA region

    Hi all, I have searched through this forum for an answer but I think I'll be more successful making my own post. My model Y was rear-ended about 2 months ago. The at fault driver was found to be 100% responsible for the accident. I filed a claim as third party through their insurance and my...

    Took delivery of Model Y

    Looking for a little advice. Most of everything on the car is great. It did come with one minor scratch on a rear door however. I just want to get a sense of this is something that most people would fuss over. I have an appointment to get this fixed, but this would involve driving to the...

    Gotcha. Will buy when they are back in stock. What other "must have" accessories are typically recommended?

    Took delivery of Model Y

    Long time lurker, first time poster. Just bought my first Tesla yesterday! White Model Y LR AWD. VIN 138245. Had all updates except the headlights. Took it for a spin yesterday and it does not disappoint! An excellent product indeed. It did arrive with a couple scratches, so I set up an...
