Poor Yaris :( - Toyota Yaris Forums

2006fronty · 11-24-2009, 09:31 PM

Some dipshit wasn't paying attention on the freeway and rear ended my wife on her way home from work. He said he was going about 50-55mph and she was damn near stopped. The floor of her trunk area looks to be about 10-12 inches higher than it used to be. The tire damage was from the passenger quarter panel/fender,bumper area getting pushed in. I can see daylight through the hole inside the trunk area too. At least she is ok, except for a sore neck and a really sore back.

glad she is ok. although the car is probably done for, it seems to have absorbed a fair amount of energy, which is comforting. poor yaris

LOL, how much damage ($$$) was done to yours?

detroiter · 11-24-2009, 10:14 PM

8,000 worth...and they didn't total it. Kind of pissed me off. It honestly didn't look that bad but I guess since the car model was only 2 years old here in the states, parts were still hard to come by used and had to be bought new directly from the dealer. It spent a month in the shop and came out looking like new.

Hmmm, I looked up KBB on the Yaris.... damn these little bastards keep their value haha retail value is $12,235, but I only owe like $4,500.

To total it doesn't the damage have to be a certain amount of the cars value or something???

I'm betting that they total it. I've been looking into buying some totaled Yaris from the insurance salvage auctions and have seen ones with less damage than that listed with salvage titles.

90tsi · 11-24-2009, 10:50 PM

it has to cost more to repair than the vehicle is worth = totalled. i totaled my 07 last dec.

YAR1S · 11-24-2009, 10:54 PM

It may be better if its totaled.... pull off everything you wanna keep, lol.

Generally the damage needs to be greater than 75% of the current market value to be considered a total loss (although this varies from insurance company to insurance company).

I recently totalled my '09 Yaris and the repair bill was $16200......$3000 more than I paid for it!

It's hard to tell if yours will be totalled, but you really do want it to be. Even if they fix it properly, it will forever be branded as salvage so its resale value will always be less than one that was never wrecked. Now if you plan on keeping it and driving it forever then this isn't much of a concern.

I found this salvaged one online, it looks like similar damage to our Yaris

Yar Is Word · 11-25-2009, 01:34 AM

Sorry about the accident.
Did your wife see a doctor?
Injuries can show up later.

Yeah she was at the doctor getting x rays and all that fun stuff, her neck is stiffening up and her back is pretty sore but hopefully its nothing serious. Back and neck injuries suck and become problems later in life so we're going to keep going to the doctor until she feels 100%.
