I want push-button start and prefer black or grey, so my options near me are a 2016 Premium for $24k or a 2013 Limited for $19k-- weighing the tradeoffs now.
Whoa, crazy you had almost the exact same accident in the same car at the same time! The damage looks the same but your repair estimate is so much lower. Any idea why my car was quoted as needing a new differential while yours wasn't? Did your mechanic find anything? Similar damage to the rear wheel on both yours and mine.

Just a second let me take a look at your diff. HMMMMM ya it looks pretty bad.
How are we supposed to judge how badly your differential is damaged?
Not even sure why you are worried about it if the car is totaled. Are you actually considering just keeping and fixing it? You know the insurance company won't just give you money to fix it if written off right? The accident is now in their records so they will probably not even insure it again anyway.
What Reamer's situation is has zero relevance on yours no matter how similar the crash was or the damage looks.
