Bad day for the 5.0 :(

Did they put it on a rack and look at the rear end/transmission? Or was this just a walkaround estimate? They ALWAYS find more wrong once they get in there . . . my guess 17.5 turns into 20-22.5 by the time they are done.

Not feeling very good about this, already scheduled time with an attorney monday to get the diminished value claim started if it comes to that.

Thats definitely a total, glad your OK. I would bet anything the frame crushed going towards the middle of the car (can't see it until its up on a lift), not sure if the frame is different on the 2010's but my 06 was in a similar accident (yours looks worse) and besides a bent rear axel the frame had crushed going toward the passenger side door (the autobody said its designed to do that). Best of luck to you!

a car that is only 4 months old and is considered totaled should be replaced by your insurance company. at a very limited diminished value. otherwise go after the person that rearended you for the difference.. my.02
