Hello, I have a question about the “mercantile impairment”. My New Beetle convertible was “accident victim” two weeks ago in a collision (on my part) without fault (Idiots drove a gyro in the wrong direction…). The debt question is clear; the opposing insurance takes care of the costs. According to preliminary opinion, the damage amounts to happige 5600,- Euro (always almost 1/5 of the former new price). My car thus mutates into an accident car. In May This year he becomes 6 years old and has a mileage of almost 65,000 kilometers. My question now: Can I still claim such a depreciation at a vehicle age of 6 years and how is it calculated and by whom? Thank you for your answers!
