Totaled Yaris =( - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

skaris · 06-04-2010, 03:36 PM

The rear 1/4 panel was fine. The guy at the autobody shop that Toyota HQ contracts out all of their repairs to said there was NOTHING on the car that couldn't be fixed, all that was damaged were replaceable body parts, and my exhaust was bent.. The car was 69% damaged, and apparently my insurance totals it out after 70%. They said they were going to fix it on Tuesday, and then they called back yesterday and said they changed their minds. WTF.

Rain - hey, I remember you! I was thinking the same thing about just getting a paint job done.

My mom is going to figure out what 2011 models she can order from Japan in the next week or so, I am leaning towards getting another Yaris or possibly a Scion IQ if it's available for employees to order. I might go for a red one if yellow is no longer offered.

My car has had more accident repairs than it cost originally, and they keep fixing it

Geez, what keeps happening?

I've driven over 350,000 miles in my life without an accident.

Collision frequency can depend strongly on where and when you live and drive. Big cities and rush hour traffic are bad, and I've been able to avoid those situations for most of my life. The periods where I did live in a big city I seldom drove anywhere, and never ever during rush hours. Oh yeah, winter weather and dark twisty roads in places like New England are also collision producers. Numerous things like that. I just avoid driving or parking in areas that seem dangerous (to the car).

lol, thanks. my bad. but i thought the 09 was alot different? did u get a special order? (seeing as ur mom works for toyota and all?)

skaris · 06-06-2010, 01:55 PM

No, I think 2009 was the year they changed the S kit to look like that and I don't think they've changed anything on the car since (at least I haven't noticed anything different on my friend's newer Yaris).

But yes, I did get to special order it. Waited a good 4 months for it to come in, but I got what I wanted without having to go through dealerships and such. Just glad my mom hasn't retired yet so I can order a new one soon

skaris · 06-06-2010, 01:57 PM

They are giving me a red Yaris S LB soon to drive until I get my new car (whenever that is). Right now I'm in a red Corolla S and I feel like a soccer mom.

Don't let YarisOwnersDad hear you say that. He moved up to a Corolla S for its "sex appeal."

lol hey don't be too hard on him. he admitted that "sex appeal" were the wrong words... I can't say I agree with him, as I love how the Yaris looks, however.

Yaris Hilton · 06-06-2010, 05:03 PM

He's a good guy, but you just can't let something like that go!

also sorry to hear that you were on the 405 but you've I haven't seen you at any Bay Area meets! Check the California section if you got time we got a big one coming up, should be a lot of fun.

I know! I went to a few when I first got my Yaris back in '08, but since i've been working full time and going to school full time I haven't had time. I finally graduated though (two days before my Yaris was totaled, great grad present huh?) so I'll have to start coming to them.

Wowzers78 · 06-10-2010, 12:09 AM

I'd be suprised if they didn't have yellow...all of the TRD / sport package Yaris's from the 2010 campaign were Jolt yellow. It looks really good on that one

Last week someone rear ended me on the 405 at 50-ish MPH and pushed me into another car. Needless to say, my car is totalled.

I am ordering a new Yaris once insurance is settled and everything gets straightened out. My mom works for Toyota HQ, so all of my cars I generally just order through her work straight from Japan. The only problem with this right now is that I have to wait until they get all of the ordering information for the 2011 Yaris up and running, because apparently the 2010 model is no longer available.

Stupid question, but does anyone know if there are going to be any changes for the color options and stuff for the 2011 model? I had a Hatchback S in Yellow Jolt, and I want to just order the same car basically but with power windows/locks (which they mistakenly didn't put in my last car when I ordered it). Getting information from my mom is sort of like pulling teeth, and when I went to the Toyota website I noticed that Yellow is no longer a color option (at least it wasn't coming up for me) =\

Doesn't look too bad. That should buff right out.
