How do you calculate diminished value?

Diminished value is figured by the original market value prior to the loss compared with the market value after being repaired. Diminished value is what the vehicle has lost in value according to reliable market analysis conducted by a third party, NOT the insurance company. Diminished Value is the difference between the vehicle's pre-accident cash value and the post-rapair cash value. You can for example look at NADA and get the trade-in value in both clean and average conditions, you can also use kbb and edmunds.
