Lemme see what the dealer does - I'll try to get it. Which piece do you want?

I just want to echo everyone's sentiment on here. One good thing about being on YW is that if you bought the the salvaged car back, you could probably make money by parting out the pieces that all of us are looking for!

bobselectric · 04-02-2009, 10:57 PM

Wow- glad to see you're ok-- just like a great dog, the yaris will give its life for its master.

frownonfun · 04-02-2009, 11:08 PM

damn that sucks! glad you are ok. did you happen to tell the driver that there is no sense in him/her driving a toyota if they are gonna go running it into things? might as well get a POS ford to do that.

jkuchta · 04-02-2009, 11:42 PM

NUMBER 1: Glad to hear the Yaris protected another owner...

Kind of reminds me of the last scene in Old Yeller....seeing your buddy all F'ed up like that!

number 2: If you can pull parts, I'd LOVE your driver's door!

Good to know you're OK, SailDesign!

oilman930 · 04-03-2009, 12:03 AM

Glad to hear that you are OK. As for the car being totaled, well that I am not so sure about.
The side hit appears to be above the still so the unibody might be OK. The rear suspension will need some attention.
In all I would say that this car can be completely repaired, and if the repairs are done correctly, you would never know that the car was even in an accident. Now the question is, will the car be repaired? Since the car still runs, and the airbags were not deployed, none of the glass is even broken, the insurance company might insist that the car be repaired.
Good Luck!

CTScott · 04-03-2009, 12:05 AM

Glad as well to hear you're OK. I am actually impressed with how well the Yaris held-up to a T-bone. Out of curiosity, how far did the rear door deform into the cabin?

uncleyaris · 04-03-2009, 12:14 AM

I hate seeing those pic's. God bless you are ok, but the frame is screwed for sure!!!

dvlnblkdrs · 04-03-2009, 12:15 AM

WOW glad your OK Steve.. and that Bambo did not have to suffer.. yea, that car looks toast to me.. but look at it this way.. you get A BRAND NEW CAR!!! imo with the job situation and all, i say dont go brand new.. i wanted to slap my sis's bf for doing that when his got wrecked.. Hope all goes well, let us know how it goes...

nerp · 04-03-2009, 02:04 AM

Hey fellow RIer. If you want, I'll pick you up in my new Yaris so you can get a new Yaris. I'm picking it up tomorrow. :)

PetersRedYaris · 04-03-2009, 02:17 AM

Glad you ok...

My guess is that the other drivers insurer will consider it totaled. I buy rebuilders once in a while and your car is far worse than some I buy at auction that have totaled by insurance companies. But who knows, every company is different...

Ryu · 04-03-2009, 02:21 AM

Very sad to look at those pics, glad you are ok !!!

jinxor · 04-03-2009, 02:24 AM

That looks like a very big accident... hope you are alright mate...
