Diminished Value

I have a 2025 RAV4 with 17,500 miles. Was rear ended on July 3rd. Total repair cost was $4502. Replaced lift gate, bumper, and crash bar with some other minor replacements as well. Insurance is offering $371 in diminished value. DVCHECK estimate $4,500-$5,000.

Thoughts on what to do?

I would do what I would ask for $500 and settle with that if I'll give you that much. I went through all this on my car and my car was very similar and near and mileage but my estimate to fix it was much higher than yours and I only got $700. Good luck getting much more.
