    I had purchased my 2024 Prius Limited and drove it off of the showroom floor. 9 days and 353 miles later in elderly woman mistook the brake for the accelerator and crashed it super hard. My vehicle was parked but she hit it so hard there were 3 feet of skidmarks until it hit the sidewalk. I also noted that there was fluid coming from the axle. It was green yellow and coming from transaxle as best I can call it. I have pictures and sent them in to insurance currently, Currently the cosmetic damage is estimated to be 10k. No estimate yet with the transaxale being involved l.
    After repairs would you keep it or trade it ? I’m worried about future problems with this vehicle because she hit it so hard. It breaks my heart. This was my dream car.❤️ but I want to move forward and make the best decision. Thank you in advance for your knowledge and advice. I appreciate it this form so much !!
