Did you ask about it? It does not look totaled. It does look like it might have been stolen and recovered.

[WeeYari]

Yep, he had some threads a while back about paying homage to porsche with his black/orange colour scheme.

Don't recall any 'I've wrecked my Yaris' threads tho.

They want 4500 as is, or 5500 when they change the fender and tidy it back up. It's complete, just sitting on 4 donuts. They told me it came from the LA or Rancho Cucamonga area. It's at "advanced auto wrecking" on Energy way in Chula Vista.

[marcus]

wow his car was probably stolen and missing maybe you just helped him find it..

[weedtank]

Wasn't a member here trying to sell it for awhile? Smells like insurance fraud to me

Here's the explanation from his part out thread:

[Betrivent]

so the tranny died and it somehow got body damage as a result?

yarisrs or something is the owner/was.

Guys, sometimes it's just easier to accept stuff, say "Shame..." and move on. :smile:

[DebbyM46227]

Geez....one reason everyone's insurance is too high.

[why?]

i just wonder when the insurance co will make the connection.

[silver_echo]

wonder how his insurance company decided to total the car for a tranny... i was under the impression that parts like a trans were not normally covered unless it was damaged in a car accident...

[xnamerxx]

He didn't tighten the lugs on the driver side the wheel fell off causing the front to hit the the brace and ripped apart the transmission.

lol? :eek:

Frick. Looks like an '08. I could use the back bumper so I can get some Vitz RS tails. Shame that it got totalled for what seems to be a fender and a transmission. Almost suspect, actually. That car could easily be saved.

[YAR1S]

wonder if this car got sold or parted out? I would have loved to of had some parts! :(

[why?]

his part out thread is still in the section.

[justjesus]

Sucks that people have to go on and spread bad sh!t. Glad yaris rs came on here to say something.

On a side note: Yaris rs, I drove next to you once, back like in Jan, over by Newport Beach. Car looked good.

[mazilla]

I just figured you might enjoy seeing the car again...I've always wondered what happened to the cars I've sold/junked/etc over the years. I didn't anticipate the wild speculation.

[mazilla]

I needed an alternator core for a rewind and didn't want any down time on my car so I bought one for 40.00 at that yard. Apparently the next step for your car is a company that transports medical specimens, according to the yard that's where it was going "in about a week".

[mazilla]

I guess they changed the plan. I don't know why I keep coming across this particular car, it's weird.
