My beloved, perfect ES 330 (95,000 miles) was just smashed by a red-light runner and I'm waiting for the adjuster to determine whether they can repair it or not. It was valued at just under $13,000 by my insurer but there is damage to the sub-frame around the engine so it may not even be repairable.
Does anybody have any advice for me in this situation regarding future safety if they do repair it? I'm also wondering if it would be worth me buying the salvage vehicle if it is is declared a total loss and trying to part it out. Everything but the front fenders and hood is in exceptional condition and the engine is running perfectly too. I just had the 90,000 mile service done a week before the accident (!Removed! typical) and had the belt and water pump replaced.
Interior is flawless after having it fully detailed as part of the 90,000 service too.
