Re: Car dealership liability

For a third opinion - while a car can be repaired, it never seems to be the way it used to be. And with $5,000 to $7,000 worth of damages, the damage must be significant.

With the advent of the computer and "car-facts" everyone will know the car was in an accident.

It is not the retail value that will change but the resell value or trade in value that would be affected.

I do agree with Mr. Calcagno that the cost of a lawsuit can be prohibitive, however, you could try small claims court - after the car has been repaired for the difference in value.

Re: Car dealership liability

if fully repaired there should be no serious depreciation, other than normal deprecitation as would accumulate over time anyways... the cost for such litigation would SURELY outweigh any minimal depreciation of the vehicle due it it having been in an accident - i would suggest simply allowing them to fix the situation, ensuring it is fixed to a pre accident condition (or better depending on the age of the car).
