They are going to fight tooth and nail against diminished value. But its real, ESPECIALLY since airbags deployed. My previous 08 got hit in the rear, no airbag deployment, and I ended up getting a check for over $2300. Their original offer was $500.
Sounds like That is equivalent value with that one .SR5 Tacoma.....blah

Update: we are now up to 19k in damages and I still didn’t get the truck back. I got rid of that god awful Tacoma and they put me in a 2019 Avalon, 300hp apple car play and very very comfortable. I actually enjoy driving it, but F@&k me I miss my LC. Apparently they are having difficulty getting parts from Japan regarding the seatbelts and airbags. I’m hoping another 2 weeks??!
that’s over two months to get it fixed what have you heard about diminished value and I would think it be Way over 19k I’m thinking 25k by the time you sign off on it they should of total it. Make sure they guarantee all repairs for as long as you’re on the vehicle I did that all mine that means that radiator starts leaking you just go to the insurance and They replace it

Yup accident was sept 4th. The insurance company said “ we don’t pursue that.” I’m so disgusted at this entire thing I just don’t G A F anymore. If it’s all good I’ll keep it, if I have problems with it I’ll keep it for a year until the 2020s come out. If I hate the 2020, i grab a 2019 left over.
Your insurance company might be of some assistance. My wife's A4 was hit no less than 5 times, the last was a couple of years ago, and we still got a diminished value claim pushed through.
The time suck and aggravation of an accident is a complete waste.

That was my insurance company saying that.
Major, major bummer dude. After my accident earlier this year, I've had a certain disdain for insurance companies and their processes. It's a damn profit-hungry machine and all humans you interact with might as well be AI robots with way more artificial than intelligence.
Time heals, but this one sounds like it'll take a while. The DGAF attitude is actually a good way to cope.

120 MPH is only 75% of the speedometer range (160 MPH). You should be shooting for 140MPH cruise speed.

Well 11 weeks and 19k dollars later I finally got it back today. So far zero ratles, everything works and it’s looks phenomenal. Headlights needing to be aligned is the only thing I noticed that was “off”. Only time will tell though, Here she is, back in business. Tires need some dressing too, dirty.

WOW, 11 weeks and $19k in damage, no way I could drive anything else for 11 weeks if my LC was in the shop. I like the wheels you put on it, were those your stock wheels powder coated or something else?
