Whoever appraised that as $16,000 worth of damage is smokin' some serious crack!
Even totaled, there ain't no way a 2008 Yaris sedan is worth that much. Sorry to see your crashed like that, but from the photos it appears there are still a lot of usable parts on it...

Rebuilding a car costs more than mass producing a car, especially when insurance is involved. I was thinking the same thing, it might be a bit high, but not unreasonable. If most panels needs body work or replacement, and that bumper bar went in to the engine bay, its totaled as far as insurance is concerned, without question. If not, someone keep an eye on northern cali salvages - PARTS CAR.
Oh, and sorry about the car, but you could be driving any car and if you have crappy tires you're gonna hydroplane. What other sub compact are you going to? |

This is the new ride and I'm already in love with it.

Ford has really stepped it up in the passed few years.. with the whole SYNC program the Bluetooth and all the cool options it just makes it feel so much less econo boxish. Thee car handles a lot better. Oh and on that note the tires I had were the stock bridgestones I think. These toyos with my 5 speed in the fiesta handle a million times better. It was a sedan but the body roll was pretty bad in my old yaris.

I laugh at people who spend thousands on their stereos, then scrimp on tires. There are places to get great deals on good tires, and there's nothing wrong with wanting to save money but it shouldn't be at the expense of one's safety! Cheers! M2

However, I think we should wait at least 5 years to see if Ford really "stepped it up" or not because their problem has always been with the reliability of their vehicles. They always had nice looking cars (at least in Europe), but their reliability has been average at best. The only thing I don't like about the Fiesta is the interior of the car. I think the center dash portion of the car looks very ugly but that's just personal taste. Good luck with your purchase and have fun! Btw, I would have waited for the Focus. It seems nicer than the Fiesta and not much more expensive either. |
