So your next Yaris: basic model or S?

Anyway, I went to the salvage yard to get personal effects out of what was left of the Yaris, and to my surprise, the claims adjuster was there checking out my vehicle. How convenient. He told me he would have to wait until he could run the numbers, but it was pretty much totaled.

1.5 down, 1.5 to go lol:

1. Police: not my fault
2. Insurance: not my fault
3. Car status: totaled

Hey if you get a Tc that will be cool. You should join Scion Evolution in your area if you do. I also have a Tc as well. If you have any ques let me know.

I mean I dont know but if the other persons lawyer gets a hold of this post who knows what they might do with it. Remember its not whos rights its who has the most devious lawyer.

I sent the photos and the drawing to the insurance company already and they said they were very informative. The witness is the key factor in this one. Because of him, the insurance company has just informed me today that the person at fault has been determined to be her. So as it stands:

• Police: not my fault
• Insurance: not my fault
• Car status: totaled

But I was also informed that the other driver might not have the right coverage.

Awesome...

Thank goodness for full coverage right? lol

I wouldnt go anywhere without under/uninsured motorist insurance! As much as I can get! Estimates are in NJ where I live 40% of all motorists have NO insurance. The three other members of my family (but not me!) have been rear ended a total of four times in the past six or so years. Only ONE of the other drivers had insurance. And that one bitched to no end when her company paid $4000 in repairs to cover our car.
So yeah you need full coverage these days and eyes in the back of your head. Its good the cops and the ins co are on your side!

Wow that bites. Always a danger when driving a tiny car in a big car culture. I've had a few close calls myself.

Rule of thumb when driving anywhere, anytime:

You might be right. You might be dead right.

Finally got the settlement money, minus my deductible. My insurance is going after the other insurance company (subsidiary of 21st) because they claimed it was 50/50, and my insurance said that was bologna. They told me they probably did that only because 21st has been having a lot of money issues lately and they will probably have to go to insurance court to get them to pay for damages. So that's all out of my hands now. At least the settlement was all taken care of and I got the main bulk of the money to pay off the rest of the loan.

As for damages, going back to empty out the car, this is what I remember seeing:

• The engine had dropped and moved backwards a considerable amount
• The hold was pushed back so far it was embedded into the windshield
• The doors didn't close straight because the whole frame was bent
• Interior panels had popped off because the car frame was bent that much.

I have been looking around for a new car, still undecided though. I was very close to buying a tC about a month or so ago, but now I'm about 70ish% sure I'm probably going to get another Yaris. They are just awesome.

[RUFFSTUFF]

Buy the car you want at a good price and be happy!

[Black Yaris]

same shit happen to me when my Yaris was totalled, the other guys ins co said they were not going to pay... blah blah blah. My ins co got me a check super fast so I could get into a new car. They did subtract my deductible at first, but they ended up recovering that from the other guys ins co. I had no luck trying to find another Yaris, and that is why I bought my xB, cause that is all I could find. Now I am back into something I really want to drive a black Rav4 :)

[advocate]

Send the ECU to CTScott!!! Also if your cluster had a tach snatch that out if you can it will sell here easily =)

The dealer said he could order one for me exactly how I want it, so if I decide to go that route I'm covered.

ECU and gauge cluster are property of the insurance company when a vehicle is totaled. The adjuster let me take out the calzzio seat covers and a couple other things, so if I decide to get something other than a Yaris I will start posting stuff.

It was pretty much head on. It sucked. Majorly.

Ouch! Are you sure you are okay after the accident? I know for some people who think they were okay afterwards, but injuries come much later such as pinch nerve on your cervical (C1-C7 neck area) and problems in their lombar (lower back) area in the long run. You should have got yourself checked out from the doctors since you can use med pay to cover any medical fees depending on your coverage.

Had an X-Ray and CT scan. Nothing major, C4 slightly out of alignment. Been going to the Chiropractor twice a week for 5 weeks. For a while there I couldn't move my neck at all, but now it's much better.
