So you don’t got to WinStar much? ;p. Our family ranch is north east of Denton. Believe it or not I don’t see many deer around. Now get west over around Saint Jo or Nocona and you will see a lot. Still nothing like what we see here in Colorado. Also seen deer on 289 between Frisco and the red river
It's good that State Farm has treated you well, as they have been uniformly terrible for me when repairing collision damage. Their adjusters generate estimates that are roughly 1/3 the cost of the true cost of repair, resulting in weeks of delays while the body shop convinces them to pay for the necessary repairs. Interestingly, they were far better for homeowner's insurance when I replaced my hail-damaged roof, even though that claim was for many times more than the minor collision claims.

State Farm has been great! Already paid me my out of pocket tow of $300 and my shoulder got jacked up some and they are sending me to a chiropractor for that. They even went a little outside their towing limits to tow the car to Denver from Colorado Springs. I am sure another shop could have fixed the car here but Audi Denver has the car I am trying to trade for. And they seem the best repair shop around town. I want the car repaired the best it can be for someone else just not me. I cleaned the interior and wiped all the airbag dust out of the interior. I removed my all weather mats and installed the factory carpet ones but I put down cardboard to protect the drivers side. Even though the car won’t be mine I want someone else to see I tried my best to take care of it after the accident. I even used some waterless car wash to clean up the car on the outside a little. To add insult to injury a bird crapped on the car twice while it was sitting outside. I made sure I got that off. I take pride in all my stuff. My work truck is 9 years old with out a scratch or dent. It’s cleaned out every night when I get home and ran through the automatic car wash daily. My last SQ5 was pristine without even swirl marks. It just makes me sick to see the car like this. I know that feeling will never go away as long as I own this car.

But — I’m guessing that they will not “treat” any of the refinished / replaced painted parts with the PPF or Ceramic coat. The poor guy who buys that car will wonder why everything else looks great, while the door skin and fender, not so much.

You never know. On one of my previous cars I had to go through insurance for some damage and the shop redid the front bumper PPF without me even asking them to do so. I don't even think the actual damage was to the front bumper area, the PPF was damaged in one part due to my mom scraping it against something. Certainly a pleasant surprise for me!

If it does not get totaled be sure to add a diminished value claim to your claim. Not sure how this works or if it’s state specific but it gives you dollars today to make up for the car fax lowering your sales price. Maybe a ny thing. My friend did it his S5 that was hit while parked.
never heard of it before.

Good news from AOA. They called this morning and told me they are willing to transfer my Audi care and the remaining 8 months of Audi connect to the new car. They have opened a file and documented all this info. They didn’t have to do this. But I do appreciate them stepping up and helping me out. I do believe auidcare was $1179 and the remaining connect is somewhere around $250. Everyone I have spoken to has been great and wiling to help in anyway they can.
