Can I use surplus parts to avoid paying depreciation?
Yes, surplus parts are not subject
to depreciation. The insured shall inform the adjuster if he prefers to use
surplus parts to avoid paying depreciation; however, this is only recommended
for collision parts (e.g. fender, bumper, door), and not for mechanical parts
(e.g. suspension, tire rod, fuel tank, transmission, engine).
