re: Vehicle flooded at dealership

I've been waiting for around 10 months for the airbag replacement on two Subarus. There are tens of millions of these things under recall and it's affected many of the major OEMs. And it seems like more are being added every week. Type "Takata recall" into your Google machine to learn more.
As for the OPs situation, I don't know. But years ago, I had a vehicle damaged by a fire in a garage and their insurance covered that. This is a new one on me though. You may have said and I missed it, but what is the dealership saying to you?

A little more detail:
Yes the dealer gave us a Loaner back in May. I was very appreciative of that. If it was my car then I probabbly would have driven it until the part came in. In fact I did do that for my Honda. This was my wife's car that she drives the kids around in. Probability of something happening was very minute but if something happened and that airbag hurt my wife or my kids I couldn't lie with myself. That's why I opted for the loaner.
Still waiting for an adjuster, but will probabbly go car shopping tommorow to see what she likes.

Dealership has been very responsive. I am awaiting for their insurance companies Apprasior which is a pain. One of the Managers had mentioned that they thought there was a possibility that The manufacturer was going to help takata owners who were flooded, but in all of my calls to the manufacturer I. Cannot find anyone else to confirm this.

Sounds like the dealership is stepping up at least. The blame is really on Takata. But maybe some of the OEMs will do more than others in situations like yours. Hopefully it works out.

I imagine the dealer's insurance will cover your car. IMO, it's the fault of the OEM (Toyota?) for your car being in the shop for so long. They are the ones using bad parts/suppliers. I'd be shocked if they didn't offer you some kind of discount on a new Toyota for your trouble.
Really tough break for the dealerships that flooded.

Any dealership or garage would carry coverage to protect vehicles on their property, i would think

A few questions.
Has anyone heard of any area dealers giving special financing if you lost your vehicle? I was looking at Sequioas but I have asked everyone and their brother at Yota if they were giving any special incentive, 0%, a free oil change, anything, and the reply is 3 months first payment deferred. I am not worried about that plus several others are offering that.
Is the insurance amount taxable on a new car? In other words, 50k car - 25k ins, taxed on 50 or the balance? I assume 50.
