I already have a diminished value claim in on the car, but I'll definitely reach out to him if they come back with a number I don't like. They've actually been really decent so far and haven't tried to fight me on anything.
Replacing it probably isn't realistic, even if they wanted to. It's a 401a 60th car with a Manual and it's very hard to find anything remotely comparable around here. Worse when you factor in I got it at $9k off sticker.
As for the repairs, yeah they're completely replacing the Quarter panel...
I wasn't going to post this, but maybe it'll make you feel better. An 88 yo man was kind enough to execute a left hand turn directly into my 4 day old new car (he was 100% at fault). $11k estimate, god forbid there's suspension damage, who knows how bad that'll get. Thankfully his insurance is...
