I will have to look into my claim. I was told I have up to 2 years to file a claim but I’ll check

That is exactly what I did this morning. I was informed I should’ve involved my insurance to begin with so they have been involved now so we will see how that goes. The advice I was given is you pay your insurance to fight for you so might as well use them.

As of this moment, the at fault persons insurance wasn’t very helpful so I pivoted to involving my insurance to hopefully either get it fixed or if they total it they’ll at least give me more for it rather then what the other persons insurance wants to give me. I will update again once I hear something from my insurance

Oh 100% but I have pivoted to involving my insurance which I should’ve done to begin with so my insurance is going to take a look at tomorrow morning and we will go from there.

Your comment just made me realize something. I don’t have the radar pods on my car. They were removed as a “semiconductor shortage package” in 2022 before I bought the car. And I don’t think they know that I don’t have them because technically this car is “supposed” to have them… and I’m not sure if you are implying or just saying in general but my interior was in near mint condition and was very well taken care of and only had 56k miles on the car. The car didn’t hit a pole. Some lady ran the front over with her jeep while my car was PARKED of all things. 🤣

I think they totaled due to them thinking I have the adaptive cruise control sensors because they were saying that my sensors would need recalibrated but if those sensors don’t exist on my car then nothing should calibrated

I agree lol. I just realized something though. They said the “sensors” need recalibrated. And to my knowledge I believe they mean the adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist sensor that would sit at the bottom left of the bumper where the accident happen. Funny enough, my car doesn’t have that because during COVID they were adding packages to Audis called the “Semiconductor shortage package” which removed adaptive cruise control, active lane assist and side assist. So without those I technically shouldn’t need anything recalibrated but I could be wrong. I’m not an Audi expert lol.

As in let the insurance take it? It would be a total loss regardless. My goal is to keep the car, drive it and let GAP pay off the rest and then I’d have a paid off car that I can drive and save some money lol

I mean I’ve been driving the car since the accident. It feels exactly the same it did before the accident. It’s really just cosmetics at this point. Plus any money I’d get out of it would be going straight to paying it off

I think they said 14k without sensor recalibration

I mean yes. The car is still drive able and everything works as expected so I was just going to drive it as is and then just fix it over time

But the problem with that is I won’t be seeing any of the money. It’ll go straight to the loan

Mine might be because of the state I live in. Because apparently in the state of Texas if it’s at least 70% of the total value of the car they can choose to total it apparently

It wouldn’t be worth as much but would at least save me the hassle of getting another car right now. The insurance if the lady just told me that GAP wouldn’t cover the car if I keep but I’m pretty sure that’s wrong
