Diminished Value

Understanding Diminished Value: What it is and How it Affects Your Vehicle

Introduction

When you invest in a vehicle, whether it's brand new off the lot or a pre-owned gem, you expect it to retain its value over time. However, accidents happen, and even with expert repairs, the value of a vehicle can be affected. This is where the concept of diminished value comes into play. Diminished value refers to the reduction in a vehicle's resale value after it has been damaged and subsequently repaired. In this article, we'll delve deeper into what diminished value entails, its various types, factors influencing it, and how it can impact both buyers and sellers in the automotive market.

Understanding Diminished Value

Diminished value is a significant concern for vehicle owners, as it directly affects the monetary worth of their investment. There are three main types of diminished value:

Inherent Diminished Value: This type of diminished value accounts for the perceived loss in value due to the mere fact that a vehicle has been involved in an accident, regardless of the quality of repairs. Even if a damaged vehicle is expertly restored to its pre-accident condition, it may still be viewed as less desirable in the eyes of potential buyers.

Repair-Related Diminished Value: Repair-related diminished value refers to the reduction in a vehicle's value due to visible signs of repairs, such as mismatched paint or replaced parts. Despite the best efforts of auto body shops, these repairs may not fully restore the vehicle to its original condition, leading to a decrease in resale value.

Immediate Diminished Value: Immediate diminished value takes into account the decrease in a vehicle's value immediately following an accident, before any repairs are made. This type of diminished value is often associated with the stigma attached to a vehicle that has been involved in a collision, regardless of the extent of the damage.

Factors Influencing Diminished Value

Several factors can influence the extent of diminished value experienced by a vehicle:

Severity of Damage: The severity of the damage sustained by a vehicle plays a significant role in determining its diminished value. Vehicles that have been involved in major accidents resulting in structural damage are likely to experience greater diminished value than those with minor cosmetic damage.

Age and Mileage: The age and mileage of a vehicle can also impact its diminished value. Older vehicles with higher mileage may already have depreciated significantly, making any additional reduction in value due to diminished value less pronounced.

Vehicle Brand and Model: The brand and model of a vehicle can affect its perceived value in the eyes of buyers. Luxury and high-end vehicles may experience greater diminished value compared to more affordable counterparts, as buyers may have higher expectations for these types of vehicles.

Market Demand: Market demand plays a crucial role in determining the extent of diminished value experienced by a vehicle. If there is high demand for a particular make and model, diminished value may be less pronounced as buyers may be willing to overlook a vehicle's accident history.

Impact of Diminished Value

Diminished value can have significant implications for both buyers and sellers in the automotive market:

Sellers: For sellers looking to sell their vehicle, diminished value can result in lower resale offers and longer time on the market. Potential buyers may be hesitant to pay top dollar for a vehicle with a history of accidents, even if it has been repaired to a high standard.

Buyers: On the other hand, buyers may view vehicles with diminished value as an opportunity to negotiate a lower purchase price. However, buyers should proceed with caution and thoroughly assess the extent of the vehicle's diminished value before making a purchase decision.

Conclusion Diminished value is a complex yet important concept in the world of automotive sales and purchases. Whether you're a seller looking to maximize the value of your vehicle or a buyer seeking the best deal, understanding the factors that contribute to diminished value and its potential impact is essential. By being aware of diminished value and its implications, both buyers and sellers can make more informed decisions in the automotive market.

I didn’t remember this Hojo line in the game (at least not when I played it) but I love that he canonically got pissed about Sephiroth not being sent to guard him when in actuality, Sephiroth basically just said “No fuck Hojo, he should die” a few moments earlier skfjdjs

What do you think akutagawa does in his free time? Would this man even enjoy or have free time?

Omg thank you so much for this question <333

There's a lot to unpack here. In his earlier times in the Port Mafia (basically up to the current manga events or at least to when Dazai left), I don't think Akutagawa would have granted himself the luxury of free time: always training, always struggling, always striving to get stronger and do better; he wouldn't ever let his guard down, let alone relax. It didn't do him any good: that kind of intensive, no-rest training probably made him weaker than if he had taken a break when he needed to. Then again, Akutagawa is too shortsighted to realize that, moreso at 16.

It starts getting gradually better some time after Dazai left the pm– with halts and relapses, but gradually better. Akutagawa got a little older, and a little more mature. According to the second guidebook, he spends his leisure time taking walks. We know he finds it relaxing to eat figs and drink tea with Gin. We know he takes care of groceries by himself, if we want to consider that a way to spend his free time. And my personal headcanon is that he sews as a hobby: I find it so meaningful and fitting for him! He's got a natural connection with textiles due to his ability that we should really expand on. He's not so patient or able to focus on something like reading, but sewing or knitting sounds like that kind of relaxing activity that isn't too taxing and would allow him to unwind. And I think it makes sense that he'd knew how to sew from his times in the slums– not affording to buy clothes, it doesn't sound too far fetched that he had learnt how to put together fabric in a way that can be worn, for himself and for his family. This headcanon is really important to me.

Repost.

Lots of text and ramble in tags.

(Sadly tags are not enough to express how I feel on this. So I'll try and maybe add more in a reblog tomorrow.)

I'm definitely going to have to finish Black Sails especially since Once Upon a Time has been completely disappointing in terms of pirate materials

[boschlowtxt]

Curious, do you not think Hunter and Amity are friends? Like yes they had issues but I believe they are at least are friends/rivals, more curiosity than anything

I definitely think they're friends! It would be weird to be in a friend group and have two people still be enemies lol. I think they'd be a very funny pair. They'd bicker a lot over dumb things but still genuinely care for each other.

[mscaseys]

this is probably not the intention but every time i see a post that's like "crazy how people care about ms casey more than the other innies on the severed floor despite her having 0 screentime" i have to pause because. like you literally sound like lumon right now. you do realise the argument that innies are human beings and deserve rights and autonomy despite them having lesser experiences than the outies applies to ms casey, and gemma's 25 innies on the testing floor too, right? right???

[thedeafprophet]

If I have to see another allo person dunking on platonic relationships because 'that's just friends' I'm gonna start sending people into the mist

Ok, borrowing this from that last post about Grimwild, because this has been tingling my math brain.

I love looking at how the math of tabletop mechanics works out. Ever since I sat down with some graph paper in high school and histogrammed the difference between 3d6 and 3d6 drop 1.

So the first thing I thought of when I saw this was "well, given a pool of size N, how long would it take it to get to 0, on average?"

Each die rolls either high (4-6), or low (1-3). After you roll a pool, you throw away all your low dice. If all your dice roll high, you roll again with the same pool size. If all your dice roll low, you're done.

An individual die has a 50 percent chance of rolling high. It always gets used in at least one pool roll, and whether it survives to another depends on what value it rolls. However, if it does roll high, we are now in the same situation we started in: we have one die. So we can express e, the expected number of pool rolls an individual die would survive, using a recurrence relation: e = 1 + 0.5 e. Using some algebra gives us e = 2.

If we have a pool of size N, then we might be tempted to say we should also expect it to survive 2 pool rolls. After all, each individual die is expected to survive that long, and no die affects any other.

But the truth is more fun than that.

Let E(N) be the expected number of pool rolls we get out of a pool of size N. We know we don't get any more rolls if we have zero dice, so E(0) = 0. There's only one way to roll all highs, but there's N ways to roll one low and N-1 highs, since that could be any one of the N dice, and N(N-1)/2 ways of rolling two lows and N-2 highs, since that's how many different pairs of dice there are.

In general, there's N choose H ways of rolling H highs and N-H lows. That means the probability of any particular combination of highs and lows is (N choose L)(probability of H dice all rolling highs)(probability of N-H dice all rolling lows). The probability of K dice all rolling the same value is 0.5 ** K, so the probability of rolling exactly H highs with N dice works out to (N choose H)(0.5 ** H)(0.5 ** (N-H)) which simplifies to just (N choose H)(0.5 ** N).

Now we can get a recurrence relation for E(N) in terms of the probability of our next pool having H dice and the expected number of rolls that pool has, E(H).

E(N) = 1 + Σ (N choose H) (0.5 ** N) E(H), 0 ≤ H ≤ N

This is great! But slightly unsatisfying as if we look at the right hand side closely, we can see that we're defining E(N) in terms of E(N).

E(N) = 1 + (0.5 ** N) (E(N) + E(0) + Σ (N choose H) E(H), 1 ≤ H < N)

Our friend algebra steps in again, and helpfully simplifies this to

E(N) = (2**N + Σ (N choose H) E(H), 1 ≤ H < N) / (2**N - 1)

And... this is where I'm stuck for now. I'd like to have a closed form for E(N), but I haven't figured it out yet.

But, it is good enough to tell me how many pool rolls the 4d/short, 6d/mid, and 8d/long pools should last:

E(1) = (2) / (2 - 1) = 2 / 1 = 2 E(2) = (4 + (2 choose 1) E(1)) / (4 - 1) = (4 + 2 x 2) / 3 = 8/3 E(3) = (8 + (3 choose 1) E(1) + (3 choose 2) E(2)) / (8 - 1) = (8 + 3 x 2 + 3 x 8/3) / 7 = 22/7 E(4) = (16 + (4 choose 1) E(1) + (4 choose 2) E(2) + (4 choose 3) E(3)) / (16 - 1) = (16 + 4 x 2 + 6 x 8/3 + 4 x 22/7) / 15 = 368/105 E(5) = (32 + (5 choose 1) E(1) + (5 choose 2) E(2) + (5 choose 3) E(3) + (5 choose 4) E(4)) / (32 - 1) = (32 + 5 x 2 + 10 x 8/3 + 10 x 22/7 + 5 x 368/105) / 31 = 2470/651 E(6) = (64 + (6 choose 1) E(1) + (6 choose 2) E(2) + (6 choose 3) E(3) + (6 choose 4) E(4) + (6 choose 5) E(5)) / (64 - 1) = (64 + 6 x 2 + 15 x 8/3 + 20 x 22/7 + 15 x 368/105 + 6 x 2460/651) / 63 = 7880/1953 E(7) = (128 + (7 choose 1) E(1) + (7 choose 2) E(2) + (7 choose 3) E(3) + (7 choose 4) E(4) + (7 choose 5) E(5) + (7 choose 6) E(6)) / (128 - 1) = (128 + 7 x 2 + 21 x 8/3 + 35 x 22/7 + 35 x 368/105 + 21 x 2460/651 + 7 x 7880/1953) / 127 = 150266/35433 E(8) = (256 + (8 choose 1) E(1) + (8 choose 2) E(2) + (8 choose 3) E(3) + (8 choose 4) E(4) + (8 choose 5) E(5) + (8 choose 6) E(6) + (8 choose 7) E(7)) / (256 - 1) = (256 + 8 x 2 + 28 x 8/3 + 56 x 22/7 + 70 x 368/105 + 56 x 2460/651 + 28 x 7880/1953 + 8 x 150266/35433) / 255 = 13303613/3011805

Which means that on average, we can expect a 4d pool to last E(4) = 368/105 ≈ 3.50 pool rolls, a 6d pool to last E(6) = 7880/1953 ≈ 4.03 pool rolls, and a 8d pool to last E(8) = 13303613/3011805 ≈ 4.42 pool rolls.

Now I really want to histogram them to see what the distributions look like, but it's late and I should go to bed.

made a mistake looking in the notes of the “just make an oc” post and got brain blasted by some of the most self righteous girlies talking about how misinterpreting characters until they’re unrecognizable is actually such an important part of the fandom experience and if you don’t like you don’t read and like first of all yeah the complaining is because it’s not liked. and i’m sure that your experience with misinterpreting that little guy is deeply personal for you but your consumption attachments will not save you. if you don’t love something for what it is you can at least free yourself and give birth to something original even if it’s derivative in origin. it’s okay. be free. not every story you like can be reshaped into everything you need, sometimes you have to respect it for what it is instead of what you wish it was

[uncanny-tranny]

I wanted to ask you because you seem like you wouldn’t judge but do intrusive thoughts ever show up from trauma? Or do they just appear?

Trauma-related or trauma-induced intrusive thoughts are a common experience for people who have experienced trauma before. In fact, for some trauma disorders (like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), it is an indicator of having that specific disorder.

Intrusive thoughts can "just appear" for some folk, but if it is persistent or if they are particularly distressing or vivid, it's a good idea to address it.

I've personally experienced some infrequent intrusive thoughts due to my trauma and trauma disorder, and they are often very vivid and incredibly disturbing. While intrusive thoughts are not inherently tied to having trauma, having both is not uncommon, as is not having intrusive thoughts.

Intrusive thoughts are not indicative of your "true inner thoughts/feelings." Your intrusive thoughts, if you experience them, do not indicate a failure of your morality or character. If you experience intrusive thoughts, you deserve support and understanding. Intrusive thoughts can be about anything, especially if it is a "taboo" or is tied to trauma. I hope you are able to find the support you seek, and I hope you know just how much you matter.

AIRCRAFT DIMINISHED VALUE & LOSS OF USE

Aircraft Diminished Value Attorney: Protecting Your Investment After Damage

Aircraft damage can have lasting financial consequences, even after repairs are completed. Two of the most significant impacts are diminished value, the permanent loss in your aircraft’s market value, and loss of use, the financial burden of being unable to operate your aircraft during repairs. These issues can severely affect your investment, and insurance companies often undervalue or challenge these claims, leaving owners at a disadvantage.

As an aircraft diminished value attorney, Kayla Sheldrick understands how incidents can result in both immediate and long-term financial losses. Whether it’s a private jet, helicopter, or commercial aircraft, the loss of use can disrupt your operations, reduce revenue, and force additional costs. These challenges are compounded when insurers fail to provide fair compensation, making it essential to work with an experienced airplane loss of use lawyer.

Understanding Aircraft Diminished Value and Loss of Use

When your aircraft sustains damage, the financial impact often extends far beyond repair costs. Two critical aspects to consider are diminished value and loss of use, both of which can significantly affect your bottom line.

What Is Aircraft Diminished Value?

Diminished value refers to the permanent reduction in your aircraft’s market value after it has been damaged, even if repairs return it to a fully functional state. Buyers and appraisers often view an aircraft with a history of damage as less desirable, regardless of the quality of repairs. This is particularly true for high-value assets like private jets, helicopters, and commercial planes.

What Is Loss of Use in Aviation?

Loss of use occurs when your aircraft is grounded due to damage, preventing you from using it for personal or commercial purposes. This downtime can result in significant financial and operational burdens.
