Yeah, that sucks. Good luck. At this point though I would recommend getting the car fixed and going from there (and yes file for diminished value). Your car is so new that trading it in with a major accident will kill trade-in value.

If the car runs good for a few years and you still have full warranty coverage on the car it might make more sense to keep it 1-2 more years and then wait on a refreshed FR-S/BRZ that may make more power. The biggest depreciation hit on a new car is when you drive it off the lot, which is essentially where you are now.
