I didn’t mention MSRP…
Others did. I was also trying to put it in a way that most adjusters talk to their claimants, having totaled two Ford Fusions - hate deer mating season.

Apologize for attributing it to you. It was not intentional.

The main battery has tested good, so now we need to wait until they start tearing in to it and see what happens, it will be a few weeks out.

Just received the repair estimate of $41,000 after they disassembled it. When the repair shop went to place the order it actually crashed their entire system. It is a larger repair shop owned buy the same company I bought the truck from. They have no idea on when parts will be available. Now I need to work on diminished value.

I finally got my Lightning back. Accident November 29, got it from the repair shop May 24. About $44,000 in repairs. Pics on page 1. It has been ready for over a month except for the front camera didn’t work. Tried 5 different cameras and none worked. Pull a camera from another Lightning and it worked. Determined the Ford part catalog had the wrong part listed.

Looks and drives like new again.

Now I need to go after the other insurance company for diminished value, loss of use and deductible.

I can’t believe it. Don‘t even have it home for 24 hours and someone rear ended me.

The wife was driving both time. I don’t think she will drive it again.
