Yep and I bought one, our first home have a chimney fire from a wood burning stove. We never knew anything about it, until one year later. I found it when we added a air tight. There were two roof trusses that were burnt and the fix was to scab a 2x4 onto them. We looked into suing the inspector but were given a cash settlement to go away.

As for shops getting paid, I was told this by a bodyshop owner, who BTW refuses to report work.
Again this diminished value is a bunch of BS IMO. A bad body repair will stick out like a sore thumb and a good repair will not cause any problems. Funny how you can take a rusted out POS muscle car and rebuild it then turn around and sell it for big money and NO ONE bats an eye. But have your vehicle get wrecked and all of a sudden it is not worth a dime. I see a whole lot of stupid people posting comments about things they know not a **** thing about.
