Mine was estimated 30k in damages they didn’t total it. You should be okay

Don’t forget your wip-lash, ptsd and loss of earningsI was in stop and go traffic, I was stopped, he was going. No airbags and I drove it home so nothing really mechanical that I can tell.
Also, since my car will now have an accident reported, do I get any compensation due to the now lowered value of my car? How does that work?
Anyone ever seen a plate stuck in a car before?
absolutely this…..Oof yikes, this could actually be totaled, I think everyone is a little low on estimates, the paint alone due to blending is going to be pricey, I would say on the low end 10-12k, with the high end being 20k+, a good Diminished value attorney should also be able to get at least 8-10k in dv for an accident like this. but ya seeing how the quarter pannel buckled and shifted, I would prob air on the side of caution and take as many mods off, and have it totaled and either get yourself into a new supra, or whatever it is you want.
Fucking Washington drivers man. I've heard good things about Bel-Kirk in Kirkland and they're on the list @romanLegion9574 mentioned. Though the last time I tried to get an estimate, it was nearly a month wait. Good luck and wishing the best outcome!I was in stop and go traffic, I was stopped, he was going.

Seems closeAlright y’all, here’s the first estimate. She said it is very likely to “go up substantially” once they start taking pieces off. A few shops turned me down simply because they haven’t worked on the new Supras, a few others said they don’t have a unibody jig if they need it. Thoughts?

I wasn’t satisfied with the landscape work the state provided.If you were closer I'd tell you to go to Fix Auto in Puyallup, I've dealt with them several times and they're good. This is exactly why I avoid Seattle like the plague! I fucking HATE Seattle!
And what the FUCK did you do? Did you go high speed off-roading?
Cheers for the rec, just spoke to them and will likely stop by next week to get an estimate from them.If you were closer I'd tell you to go to Fix Auto in Puyallup, I've dealt with them several times and they're good. This is exactly why I avoid Seattle like the plague! I fucking HATE Seattle!

What was your experience with getting parts timeline wise? Thanks for the info, seems like everyone in Seattle area is confused and/or doesn’t know what to do with a potentially totaled Supra. I’m still talking to body shops and are probably at around 20. Most have estimates scheduled out a month or two.Picking up from the bodyshop tomorrow. Will advise on actual cost but estimate was around $12k. Parts and repair was surprisingly quick but insurance (other drivers) has been lagging, and trying not to pay the bodyshop. We’re being allowed to take the vehicle while they battle.
We’ll also be chasing a diminished value claim - I’ll be watching your progress, and will share ours. Was quoted $400 for a “diminished value report,” as completed by an insurance adjuster that switched teams and runs a business specializing in this (recommended by a body shop we trust). That’s pre-attorney involvement.
Good luck!
I had anticipated a long wait, and even asked the shop if they’d mind me pulling parts for Femto during the downtime. They assured me it’d be quick and that most all parts were easily available.What was your experience with getting parts timeline wise?

For the diminished value, you have to coordinate that yourself? I guess I’m worried I’m going to have to fight back and forth with them to prove what I think the difference is.
