Sorry to hear about the loss Rail. Think of it this way also, for a few weeks, you won't be driving the car, when you get it back, it will be like getting a new car all over again. Well enough for my poor attempt to make you fell better...
Here's my story.
A few short weeks after going from a Honda for 8 years (with no accidents) to the Porsche, I rear-ended someone. The process to get it repaired was very simple and a few weeks later, I had the car back. The insurance company voluntarily sent me a check to compensate for loss in value.
A whopping $104.93 for $6K worth of damage. hmmmm.... I wonder how they calculate it. I have yet to cash the check and would appreciate advice, especially after reading these posts on how to up that value.
