Wow, what a shame and I'm happy to hear you are doing OK. I'd be contacting the insurance company about the diminished value - especailly since it was close to being totaled but they wouldn't do it. My 2005 Lariat Screw 4x4 got hit when it was 1 yr old and bent the front frame rail...insurance wouldn't total and once I got it back it was never the same - OK around town but shimmied/wobbled at higher speeds on the freeway - I traded it shortly after. I hope yours is truly back to normal and you don't have any drivability issues - good luck!!
The lady pushed me over a curb so all 4 wheels were folded over.
Insurance wouldn't total it and nothing but problems after the repairs.
The car would shimmy and shake at highway speeds so upon further investigation they found that both axle shafts coming out of the rear end were bent and some of the teeth on the rear end gears had snapped from the impact.
All sorts of damage can be hidden when the body shop prepares it's estimate.
