Yeah man me too.. That's what I was thinking I was well. If it was the door I wouldn't think it was totaled, but since it involved the c-pillar, I think it may be a possibility. Do you think from the pictures she's totaled? Because some people say if the repairs cost 50% of the vehicle's worth it'll be totaled. Others say 70%. So I'm just really impatient waiting for insurance to let me know.

Honestly man idk. I'm just waiting to find out if she is totaled, I don't really know. Definitely a 4 door with a bit more power, but something that I won't modify much and just keep it as a clean daily.

I don't blame you. I'd want to know asap too.

Hard to say, man. My initial feeling is that it's right in that gray area of maybe being enough to total or maybe not, but I'm no expert. I guess it will depend on how much their adjuster says it will cost to fix vs what comparable Yaris' in the area are selling for. Has the insurance adjuster come to see it yet?

Damaged roughly the same area on my passenger side but a bit more rearward. I was able to repair it but I did it out of pocket and it came up to around 2500. Really just depends on the shop that does the work if you decide to keep it. I'm attached to my little hatch so I anted up and got it fixed.

Definitely true man, since it hit my door directly I'm glad I'm fine. Yeah the fact it hit the c-pillar is really messed up. The door won't open or close and the door handle itself is done.

That's what I'm saying man. No the adjuster didn't come see it yet but they will soon I believe. It's just messed up how the guy really doesn't think he's at fault here. State Farm called me saying "based on the pictures and what my client is saying, you are 100% at fault here." I was like that's BS. My insurance will now fight them for this and if anything I'll take it to court.

Wow, sorry you have to deal with that drama. Did the guy admit fault at the scene and is now trying to worm his way out of it, or? How did the accident happen anyway?

Basically he made a left turn and didn't stay in his lane. I was in the right line so I was assuming he'd stay in his lane, but he didn't. He kept going towards the right and hit me as I was passing him. I had the right of way and he shouldn't have gone if he saw me coming. He told his insurance I was coming from the plaza across the street and that I ran the stop sign. Like wtf?!
