Just got off the phone with the Insurance co.
Good thing is... this guy that Shane just talked to, he KNOWS from when he used to work for Progressive!!  So, that means Shane knows BOTH the guy at the body shop and the insurance!! Insurance guy is trying really hard to get us answers today.... and right now it is looking like they will just repair the car... but he is still working on numbers and making some calls.
Body shop estimate is $6,167.33
Insurance companies was $1,947.93 It is now $4,976 (less then the body shop due to couple of little digs on the trunk (well closer to the rear window) that may not have been accident related, labor to fix would not be much..but then you add paint & time for that it adds up...Shane requested the digital picture he took this morning be emailed to him)
Insurance guy figures IF it is fixed.... I will have a rental for about 2 weeks. So, I just called the rental company and told them I wanted a different car.... 1) the cigarette lighters do not work so my cell is not charged...2) there is a funny smell in there... like someone threw up! GROSS!! So, I'm waiting for a call back on that.....
Shane told the insurance guy that we NEEDED to know if we need to be car shopping by Thurs at the latest because we will be out of town next weekend so shopping would need to happen this weekend....and he was totally cool with that.
I'll keep ya posted.....

Hey Shell... just wanted to empathize with your car troubles. Today while I was driving my car started flashing STOP!!! at me in big red lights and making a horrible warning beep. Apparently a piece of road trash that flew up under the belly of the car broke something and I had no oil pressure. I didn't even know our car could tell us to stop driving it. I called AAA and had our car towed (meanwhile my husband called Enterprise and got a rental, as we only have one car). We get the car to the auto shop and they ask if I want to have the body damage repaired. Body damage??? I say. Turns out someone ran into the side of the car today while it was parked and flattened a bunch of it while leaving big SUV tire prints. Awesome. We're paying for a rental until Monday and hopefully the car will be fixed by then. What a pain in the butt!!!!

I just talked to insurance guy....his final estimate is $4,745.30 (this includes the chips being spot refinished that had nothing to do with the accident) Metro Auto Rebuild is starting the repairs. I should have my car back approx. 6/1-6/2 (13 days). Until then I'm in a 2005 Kia Rio...it's all right but I already miss all the "power stuff" in my car.... oh well...really it is only about 7-8 day of "driving it" due to the long weekend that we will be out of town and we will use Shane's car!!
Such a relief that I don't have to worry about car shoppin right now!!

Glad to hear things are working out with the car. When hubby got into his accident in Feb. the cost was 11,000 in damages!  We were with a rental car for 3 weeks and then he had to drive 2 hours north to get the truck. We dealt with Progressive insurance and they were great!!! In Michigan we have no- fault so our insurance company pays for the damage. Of course I can't wait to see our premiums next time around!  One note however a car is never the same after an accident. We are having some problems with hubby's truck now and we are thinking about getting a new car. If you can swing it I might suggest that you continue your car shopping. It might be less hassle in the future!

Thanks for the advise!! Yes, we will keep looking.... I just hated the thought of being RUSHED to make a deal so I had a car to drive. We need to scrap about a 1,000+ for a down... because my car as a trade in would be a wash... because I owe what it is worth on the loan.
