I don't think you're being a jerk, and questioning insurance company coverage and contractual ethics is alway a good thing. If you read my details you can infer other factors are involved. Again, 3PedalMINI said it well and I added other factors of personal nature. Without going into gory detail, there are things I must budget for (ie - hospital, pending huge insurance rate increases due teen driver now with major accident, storage fees, rental fees, next vehicle registration fees, tag transfer fees, taxes, etc). It all adds up...quite a bit.

Back on topic...
Just to steer things back on the path I intended, I wrote this thread not to talk financial burdens, but rather express my gratitude toward Audi as well as praise their superior safety engineering. We tend to focus on style, performance, comfort and such with our Audi vehicles, (for good reason), but ultimately if the worst happens we all want to know everything's going to be ok.
To recap, my daughter is alive after a severe incident. That's the bottom line and worth sharing with all that appreciate Audi and/or are considering purchasing one. My story is the ultimate selling tool.

I'm glad everyone is safe MG Bud. I'm sure you will be able to purchase another Audi down the road so don't worry.
+1 on Hyundai Sonata. It received very good crash ratings and quality. I personally like the styling considering its only 20k car. I know it's no Audi, closest hyundai that's like an audi will be Equus or Genesis, but they might not be on your budget. Give sonata a test drive for sure.
Good luck with your purchase and let us know what you got.

Glad everybody is safe.
Even getting an older Audi or any German car is still way better than a Hyundai
you may consider that for your next car, the possibility of getting in an accident again is always there, don't chance it.

My point, buy a new cheap car with good crash ratings and warranty. Good luck with your purchase OP.
