So, as I understand, at least in Washington, insurance first comes up with a rough estimate of repair costs and decides if it's worth repairing the car VS paying off the owner. If they decide to repair, they allow the body shop to disassemble the car and create a detailed work estimate.
Insurance people estimated the repair costs to be $8000 and gave the body shop a green light to start the disassembly. I should have an accurate estimate and a timeline some time mid next week.
Anyway, the car is not totalled (unless the body shop finds some terrible frame damage, I guess); I will be trying to get some diminished value money from insurance.
Will post an update once I have an accurate estimate.
PS. I posted the Gram Lights wheels for sale in the Northwest Marketplace, just in case anyone's interested.
