Farewell my friends. My crashed car experience/details

Farewell guys. I had been in an accident in my 5 month old camaro 1SS. I love it more than any car I have ever owned. I was not at fault in the accident and the other insurance took care of the damages to the car. 15k was the final repair bill after a front end hit with frame damage and the works. After getting the car back it drove HORRIBLY sounded like my door was open while driving and just didn't feel the same. I was really hoping it would be totaled.

I decided at this point I needed to sell it before it was worth nothing and took it to carmax and received an offer for 23000 and they told me it couldn't even be sold on their lot due to the type of damages reported on carfax, it would need to be sold at auction. After freaking out I called the insurance company and demanded diminished value and in a few hours got a call back with an offer of 6,175$. I didn't even hesitate to negotiate as this was more than fair considering the market value and they said they gave me nada high side value for it. I also received a check for 1,500$ for loss of use of my car. At this point I knew getting into another camaro would mean a higher payment so I told myself I just want a regular car and went to Audi and leased an A3. Audi gave me 26,000$ for the car and I ended up almost even and insurance still has to pay my pain and suffering. Overall not what I would have wanted but I love this forum and love the camaro!
