My pristine previously small female-driven, no kids in ever, fourth car CTT 04 (122k) was smacked bad by a Dodge Ram last week. Could be a total loss, but maybe not. Rear hatch is done, rear bumper is done, exhaust is pushed in and crooked, tail lights seem to have squished into their rear fender recesses more.... As hard as the guy hit me I now have the brake booster pump running continuously while I'm driving. Hope some brittle pieces of vac hose or t joints didn't finally shatter from the collision. Estimator coming tomorrow. Wish us luck. I do not want to try and replace this beauty with what even my awesome insurance company (USAA) is gonna want to give me....

I just had a quote for tailgate glass damage - it was almost nothing to see, just a broken tailgate window and a couple of scratches and chipped paint. I was thinking $500 for glass and paint. The insurance adjuster gave me a quote of $11.5k.

**** on an 04 Turbo! My rear hatch is toast, bumper ruined, mufflers smashed in and USAA is saying 3k$. Obviously a supplement or 5 will be written once my guy unbuttons the rear. Hope the wiring harness isn't damaged, or something hidden that's awful. The "like new used parts" bs even a great co like USAA tries to pull is scandalous. They do allow my old German master body man to reject any reconditioned part instantly, which he will. Dude is tough as nails as easily a top of the resto and bodywork game skilled craftsman. The Porsches he has in his shop are amazing.

Well the rear hatch color doesn't match the car. 04 paint won't match '14 paint they said.......Might just be the light since it's not sunny today BUT the hatch is def not square to the body and the glass hatch is too high in its frame. Gap on right side of rear hatch from tail lamp on down is way bigger than the drivers side..... And the bottom of the hatch is a hair above the rear bumper, sits waaaay too low.....actually looks like **** if you ask me... I'm taking the car back next week for a redo. Kind of amazed given the work this guy does and has done for us in the past.
