So, long story short, I got hit by somebody in a parking lot a while ago and I'm pursuing a diminished value claim against their insurance. After a lot of back and forth, the insurance has offered to pay for the cost of a third party appraisal, saying that whatever number the appraiser comes back with will be what they pay me, period. I would just go ahead and get it done, but my only concern is that the appraisal process includes an in-person inspection. My worry is that the inspector will notice my coilovers and that would reduce the value of the claim.
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? Are my fears unfounded?
