    Someone crashed my S5. I hope it can be fixed because there is no other car I want.

    This is an Estoril Blue Crystal 6sp car that would be very hard to replace. I can't even think of a car I would want as this has fold down seats and plenty of power and handling. My wheels were in perfect shape and I watched them spin when my new tires were put on. NO idea what I would want after this car???? Porsche are so expensive and they aren't as versatile as this great car. Ugh. Do you think it can be saved? Any thoughts? My insurance adjuster hasn't come yet, but hoping I can fix it. The spindle and control arm are shot and can't drive it now. I'm bummed. Anyone know how to post an image? I tried via Reddit, no go I guess.

    Easiest way to post pictures is to download the “Tapatalk” app and post through there. I switched to that way about 5-6 years ago and it made life easier.
    Sorry to hear about your car. It is highly likely that if not fixable…it’s replaceable. There’s an Estoril Blue 6-speed for sale right now in the Midwest. Best of luck.

    A teenager driving his dad's old Toyota Camry rear-ended our rare '17 A4Q 6MT at a traffic light in NW OH end of December.



    Once the repair estimate got past $20K, the at-fault insurer (State Farm) deemed our A4Q a total loss. I went through several iterations with the SF total loss analyst to get our A4Q valued fairly -- it took me finding two nearly exact comps (one at a dealer in NJ, the other at a Carmax in TX) for their Mitchell ACV assessment to work out. We ended buying the comp in NJ... --g

    Good for you. An excellent example of 'work with what you got :]
