In Reply to: Wreck damage cost posted by Edd in KY on October 30, 2013 at 06:56:50:
One, you're assuming that 3 vehicles in a wreck all have equal damage, so cost SHOULD be close to equal. Simply put, no wreck results in equal damage.
Then, an older, more common vehicle, you stand a much higher probability of availability of low cost aftermarket parts and/or used parts, making repair cost significantly lower.
Then of course, as already mentioned, newer cars are held to a much higher crash injury standard, therefore have built in crush zones, etc.
In 2003, I was in a Toyota Tundra that was hit from behind by a late 80's GMC pick up. My Toyota suffered minor damage (in terms of ability to be driven away) and the GMC had to be hauled away on a rollback. In the end, dollar figures for damage were relatively close.
Some vehicles are just more expensive to repair with not a lot of rhyme or reason.
