Yes and no. it WILL kill the resale that is correct. there is away you can compensate for that... when the adverse carrier offers to cut you a check for DV or dimished value or whatever it is they call it (the value a car loses because of being in an accident) deny it. tell them you want to have a private appraiser take a look at your car. it will cost you some out of pocket expense but instead of them cutting you a check for 400 bucks as deamed the minimum by the mabry case you can pay out 1-400 bucks for an inspection and get a check for several hundred more. unless you feel their estimate is accurate, which on newer cars it generally is.. on older cars you really lose money.


oh and sorry about your luck, i would have flicked a cigarette on the camary and went back to bed.
