Does 'accident' on my Porsche's Carfax affect its value?
If your Porsche has an accident listed on its Carfax, it has almost certainly incurred some Diminished Value, and is worth less than an identical model in similar condition and mileage. If you were not at fault in the accident, you have up to 4 years in the State of Florida to make a Diminished Value claim against the insurance company of the at-fault driver. Diminished Value is "the reduction in value of a previously damaged vehicle as a result of the damage, despite the damage being repaired."
For more information on Diminished Value, call/text 786-853-0711
