Trametre: What Does an Old Damage Record Cost Today?
A Turkish calculator estimates the present-day repair economics of historical vehicle damage records.
Field notes
The calculator takes a vehicle selection plus one or more dated damage amounts, preserving the original reported figure while estimating its equivalent under current parts and repair conditions. Its stated method combines parts and repair costs equally and treats each damage month separately rather than applying one blanket inflation factor. Vehicle details are also used for a secondary TSB reference comparison, while the page says that comparison does not alter the main estimate.
