Hi,
Several weeks ago I had a minor fender bender in a mall parking lot. I was parked and NOT in my car at the time. I can out and a car that was backing out of his parking spot hit my rear bumper and left tail light assembly, damaging both. My car was recently repaired using OEM
Honda parts. This was my 2013 MINT condition Honda Civic EX sedan with just 18,0000 miles.
The repair was done expertly and looks like it never happened. The driver was honest and stayed at the scene and waited for me to return to my car. He sat there and waited 45 minutes.
He immediately admitted fault to myself and the police. Obviously, since it was his fault, I went through his insurance for the repair. Even though this was minor and repaired perfectly, my Civic now has "diminished value" My question is if I was to sale privately or
worst case a dealer trade in, how much LESS is my Civic now worth??
