Sad to say.....

Hope the driver of the van was insured.

So sorry to read that. Best wishes to you and your wife for a speedy recovery.

So sorry to hear this. Hope you and your wife are improving! Please keep us posted!

Glad to hear both you and wife survived the high speed crash. Look like Corsair air bags deployed which provided some protection...Pray for your speedy recovery.

Just found out my wife will leave the rehab place and come home this coming Sat. She's making good progress. We have a meeting with the therapy staff to go over available resources to ease that process and help us adapt. For both of us.

I am also improving some every day.

She has a proposed return to work date of Jan 26.

Here is another picture, sorry about my thumb in the pic.

The chevy certainly got it worse than your corsair, but I noticed something: not a hint of red paint on the chevy, which means you handled the situation in the best possible way (as I recall, you said the e350 ran a red light, so red paint rubbing off on it was perhaps inevitable). Thanks for sharing those. It just breaks my heart, though I'm pleased to read that both you and your wife are now on the way to recovering.

Glad to hear she's going home!

Wife's coming home date has been moved up a day, to Friday! YAY!!!!!

She said it is because she is "too independent" to be there. LOL She is a hard worker, made huge progress!

Now I have one less day to figure out how to get the house ready for her! But I will! ROFL

Glad to hear you are both doing well and she is going home.

The insurance adjuster told me today that the damages come to $40,000, before any tear down, which they will not do. So as we all figured, it is a total.

I was stunned by the amount.

Next week I will find out how much they will give me to replace the Corsair.

Wife came home today! Sooner than anyone expected. She is a fighter, and worked very hard I'm rehab.

Your Corsair can always be replaced, but your lives cannot. Glad to hear that both of you came out of the incident alive!

Awesome, but be ready to fight! In GA, I had to find three "comparative" vehicles, so of course I picked CarMax for higher retail prices, as insurance will always try to low ball you. I've been through it multiple times.

 

[JB IN AZ]

Wow, that yellow Chevy folded up like a Transformer! Was that vehicle involved in the accident?

Yes. I can't see how anyone would have survived in that car.

Wife and I are making nice daily improvements. We both see the orthopedic doc tomorrow morning (tues) ... Her primary care doc has given her a (light duty) return to work date of Dec 27. Based on improvements, it is possible that we could both be driving by then...at least one of us will need to be, if she is going back to work.

With this said, do any of you have a good idea how long it takes to order a NON GT Corsair in this environment? I would buy another Reserve with Elite pkg and possibly tech pkg, and I am thinking about adaptive dampers. BUT we could not deal with being a one car family for months.

Seems that I read that the packages have changed for '22...when do they start building the '22s?

 

[GapBoyPCS]

They did change a fair bit, according to what I read on another forum. If I recall, the panoramic sunroof now is a standalone option, and the tech package is now mixed with the seats. My dealer was giving me a lead time of at least 3 months for a '22 if I placed an order now, but there was a feeling with the pandemic and supply chain issues could drag it out much longer.

I think the '22s are being built now, but some of the '21s were still trickling into dealerships. Maybe it's worth talking to the dealer to see if a non-GT is coming in fully loaded...or maybe seeing if there's a '21 still out there.

Dealer stock can be tricky, but you can make it work. You are paying cash with very little to put down. Look at Autotrader to search nationwide. its how i found mine.

Thanks!

My dealer, only one for at least 100 miles, has 3 '21s, in colors I would no accept, unless I had to...I think one is base an perhaps one is 2.3 AWD. One black/black inbound.

@kingdre Thanks for autotrader advice!

Maybe there is a different brand in my future? I have a refundable deposit on a red/beige 22 Highlander Hybrid Platinum FWD arriving in next few weeks. hmmm

Since the accident wasn't your fault and the vehicle was brand new they owe you a brand new vehicle at the purchase price of your GT, not $40,000. They are lowballing you on purpose. If necessary, threaten them with a lawsuit and follow through.

Most importantly, it is good to hear your wife is home and you both are doing better.

That's not the amount they're offering me, that's the amount of damages to my car before they tear it apart. Which they're not doing.

I'm still waiting to hear from them what the check will be directly to me...agree, it should be enough to buy a same replacement.
