A valuation expert can definitely help you get the proper value of a car, however, with this being a leased car, all they will end up doing is paying off the lease company for the car, so the expert will not be of any benefit to the lessee of the car. As KK22 said, hopefully better things in the future.
Man, real sorry to see that...But aside from some aches and pains you're physically OK (mostly), so that's what's important. Emotionally, well another story I'll bet. Yeah, accidents happen, but I'd really want to strangle that young lady...at least in my mind. So if the car is totaled, have you thought about what's gonna replace the S8?
not sure, my wife is driving the last yr of the lexus 570(2021) with the V8 and I don't think she's all that thrilled w it, so I may just drive that for a while. It's only has 18k miles on it. I think she would like a smaller mid sized suv. I would like to try a phev since her car never goes anywhere other than shopping, dinner, gym etc. I have a 01 911 cab with 11k miles sitting in the garage but I'm gonna sell it and would prefer not to put the miles on it. Plan was to keep the s8 and 570 for 10 yrs but as with all good plans......

That's not correct in my experience. My wife had a 9 month old Mercedes suv and got rear ended, after 2 months the other side had it totaled and they paid off the car and we got a chk for 4 or 5k for the equity in it. Of course this was at the the peak of covid car insanity but if u have equity in it u will get paid.
I'm gonna fight them for every dollar, car is prob 55_58 whosale and 68_70 retail. If I want to replace it with one optioned and same miles it's gonna cost me 70. We'll see, I have a lot of free time on my hands right now.

Of course, you will get any equity left over, but my experience with leased cars, is that one does not build equity generally speaking because you are technically renting the car. By all means, fight them with all you got. They should reimburse you for loss of use at a minimum. Sorry you have to deal with this, and I wish you the best.

Identical on the passenger side, can't see that any would have been damaged. Although clearly a lot of shock has gone through the car as the centre pillar is very strong and would have transmitted rather than absorbed the energy from the hit.
