Haha, I do what I can to help the fellow Limited owners

As for the lawyer goes, I know a few and can hopefully at least get some counsel for little to nothing....the way I see it, even if half the money goes to the lawyer, as long as I'm doing better than $595 at the end of the day I've gone in the right direction

And I've already got the car back from the shop, it looks amazing...props to AutoGlo, they did a fantastic job and worked w/ the insurance company so I was never involved...just dropped off my keys and picked them up when they called me back. Also thanks to SoG (Subaru of Gwinnett) for recommending a top notch facility

^^^ I was just kidding, but hey, I'm glad you got it all back in tip top shape and you're happy with it, and now you'll have some "fun" money!

*UPDATE*

I just got my appraisal back from Autoloss.com. They look at the repair estimates and take into account just about every detail from replacing panels to have to repaint. I feel they've done a fairly thorough job with everything. They took six different market values from certified used dealerships that were selling limiteds and showed how the loss of a 'certified' rating as well as carfax reports have greatly diminished my value. They drew up the legal papers and are dealing with Geico directly. They even went as far as to send me a list of faq's the insurance company might ask me if they contact me.

They appraised my loss at $7,400.00.

If I get half that, I'll be happy.

However, after talking with them, they make it sound like I'll get the majority of that. I'll keep everyone posted, but keep this in mind in case this unfortunate event happens to you.

*Edit* - They charge $360, just in case any one was wondering
