FS: 2008 Yaris Sedan Runs and Drives - Front end Crashed

[joewoods72]

Hi all,

Looking to get rid of my GF's 2008 Yaris Sedan.
103k miles. Well maintained, all oil changes at 3-4k, recent trans drain and fill.
Good tires, interior in decent condition. Clean Title

It sustained front end and side damage in an accident from a front end / guardrail incident.
Starts, runs and drives, no binding or issues.
Looks like no damage to suspension or engine. I thought I would get a rear ended yaris cheap and put it back together
but it has been sitting in the garage for almost 4 mos.

Radiator is shot, Windshield is cracked, passenger side fender/door damage
See photos - will take more in a few days or specific shots as needed.

Questions / Offers welcomed. I need the garage space for another project. Would much rather sell as a whole than take the time/space to part it out.
20171 Zip code
Thanks
Joe

My wife will probably kick me out if I bring home another wrecked one, but that's what keeps life interesting.

I would like to see some additional pictures:

1. Front A pillars on both sides with the doors open.
2. Picture from above with the hood open.
3. pictures of both sides of the front suspension, shot from just inside of the front tires.
4. Some interior pics.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The snow plow one started off quite a bit worse than hers. The red one I purchased in about the same shape and completely brought back to life. I also had a white one that I bought thinking I could bring back, but once I got it apart I found that the front of the frame was significantly shifted, so I ended up parting that one out.

are those fluid on the ground from the yaris?

[joewoods72]

Car actually has 109K miles (Not 103k as previously stated)
Front two tires are virtually new. Rear ones have a bit of life but need replaced soon.
Driver side airbag activated.
Most of the damage was in the driver front corner. Bumper support bent. Air cleaner box and radiator damaged in that area.
Runs - no check engine light or damage to intake, or drive belt accessories.
Interior needs cleaning but no rips or tears

Included are 2 new passenger side fenders (1 for sedan and one for hatchback (ordered wrong)

As for the leaking fluids - that was at a tow yard so most of them were not the yaris. It was however leaking coolant as to the damaged radiator.

Thank you for the additional pictures. I would still be interested, but unfortunately, only for purposes of parting it out. Although on the surface it doesn't look that bad, based on my experience, I see a bit more damage that what is financially practical for putting it back on the road.

The killer is that bend front frame member on the driver's side. If just the bumper supports (the parts meant to crumple) were damaged it would be OK, but the damage beyond that point requires expensive time on a frame machine to repair. It isn't something that can be hammered out or even pulled back into shape with a Tacoma (don't ask, but yes).

Wow, first off sorry to see this happen. Second, wow, not a lot of the Jade Sea Metallic ones out there. Thirdly, wow, I had honestly forgotten how much I took mine from stock.

or even pulled back into shape with a Tacoma

lol

I think i've seen some of these types of videos on YT, they usually involve a tree and lengths of chain.

the really hard part to fix is the damage on the passenger's side, that goes into the quarter panels that is a lot of body work and very costly.

[joewoods72]

Sold - Thanks for the support guys

...and beer.

Out of curiousity, what did it sell for?

[bronsin]

Yeah how much?

I would make that a daily driver here in NJ with only emissions inspections every two years.

I did a targeted search before picking by Yaris up from the dealer body shop. This post was very helpful....prompted me to ask the parts rep the right question and he actually printed out the parts diagrams for the bumper areas (both front and rear) for my car :thumbsup:. Even though the other driver's insurance company paid for the repair, they still gave me a copy of the receipt. With the diagram from the parts department in hand, I could see
which part numbers were replaced. Unfortunately, the name of the parts only appears live on their system when you move the pointer/cursor over the picture of the part or the part number (I forget which one).
