Pricing/Diminished Value Question

[SigSauer]

My 2022 Mach E Premium AWD ER with 14,570 miles was in a minor ($4,500 to repair, of which $1,000 was to remove/install new PPF film) accident about 2 months ago. I was planning to sell it but there were USPS and DMV issues that greatly delayed the arrival of the title for a replacement vehicle.

Right after the accident and before Carfax updated, I request trade-in values from Carvana, CarMax, etc. and they were generally in the $30-$32K range through mid-June.

The damage has been since fixed, but now I am consistently getting offers of $25-26K, with some outliers lower, but nothing higher.

Has anyone traded in or sold a similar Mach E (either dealer or private party) recently? If so, what are you seeing for values? If so, did it have an accident history?

Has anyone successfully received a diminished value payout to account for this? Any recommended services to use?

We were rear-ended on the freeway. Our dealer fixed every like new. Six thousand in damages. When everything was settled, I requested diminished value from the other parties insurance and received a $3500 payment. You have too ask for diminished value compensation. Good luck.

Finally closing the book on my Mach E ownership. Took about 6 weeks, but the umpire found in my favor and awarded me diminished value of $5,500, up from the insurance company's final offer of $4,000 and well above the initial offer of $310.

Was able to get a very cheap 18-month lease on an Ariya, so I may make a comparison post at some point.
