(uhhh.....not very fast). I like to think I have a much more favorable view of Texas than most Californians who are now 'Texans'

.

I like Texas...I'm not a big fan of the part of Texas in which I find myself.

If one is used to a large metropolitan area, your area might eventually lead one to feel a bit isolated....not effortless just to pop over to Dallas. Of course some (mostly small) towns in East Texas have a poor reputation for various things (different towns, different things)....Yep.

The insurance has decided to write the car off, i am now wondering what Canadian book the insurance company will use to determine value..
03 Toyota Echo in mint condition with 107,000kms

vmrcanada.com will give you a guess.

Not sure of the details of your car, but a mint '03 4dr base w/o A/C with 107 kkms is $4050 wholesale / $5650 retail.

I would say they'll give you $4000. I would invest that in an '07 Yaris. I know I paid that much for mine. :D

Could be a difficult fix (safety-wise) if the B-Pillar is compromised. If you didn't care at all, and were willing to accept leaks/misalignments/reduced safety and such, get the salvage price of the car and make your decision. Your car will have to pass safety again to upgrade the title back to fit (assuming that's an option in Quebec, I imagine it is), so if anything at all was already weak or rusty, your could be wasting your money if you don't want to repair that.

If the B-Pillar is too far gone, you could cut and weld a new one. The car won't ever be the same, and it will be a massive pain in the ass. Definitely not worth it for the age of vehicle.

Fixing it is not an option, i have no time or place or the tools required to undertake such a project.
Theres plenty of choices for a low cost replacement car.
