Well friends, I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that State Farm declared my car totaled, with repair costs bumping against $12,000! It was close. For my car to not be considered a total loss, the repair estimate needed to be under $11,000. Sigh…

But now for the good news! After much consideration of weighing the pros and cons of keeping or relinquishing my Kia, we decided to let State Farm have it and purchase a new car for me. Say hello to my new 2017 Nissan Rogue!
