[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 969483, member: 60724"] Jerry, Though I agree it adds insult to injury when cars of that price tag are in an accident that is not your fault, I have to question you on a couple of things: 1. Diminished value auto insurance claims are very, very hard to win, IMHO. I tried and lost when one of our 4 month old vehicles was in a no-fault-to-us accident. 2. I'm not so sure that it is the case, at least not in every state, that a car that has been in an accident somehow has its title updated. I do think the accident has to be severe, and I know that a there is such a thing as a salvage title, but I don't think it is the case that a minor fender bender or a replaced panel or two are going to come up in a title check. I'm just pointing these out because diminished value claims are hard to win, I, personally, I don't think every accident causes a blip on a title. Maybe others have have better information.
