Is this totaled?
Hi, I haven't posted in years so forgive me if I'm not in the right place or using proper etiquette in any way.
I got into a pretty bad accident yesterday. 4 car pile-up and I was the second car. The lady who hit all 3 of us in line got careless driving, and this was the result of the accident. Question is, does it look totaled to you? I find out tomorrow for sure. Just wondering what you all think I should expect them to say. It's a 2010 Yaris Liftback with approx 49900 miles. Thanks.

Yeah, sorry to say, that's probably totaled :( How badly were you injured?

It's totaled (easily) if you take to a dealer's repair shop. Mine wasn't as bad yours, but I made this mistake and had to buy back my car as a salvage and did alot of running around to get it re-registered as a result.
After the buy-back I took it to a reputable shop that got it fixed like new with used parts. Also, I saw a Prius there that was smashed in at the rear way worse than yours at that time. When I went back to pick up my car 2 weeks later, that same Prius looked like nothing happened to it and I watched the owner drive away in it with a clean title still in hand. Long story short, if you wanna keep your car your best bet right now is to hunt down a good shop before getting it towed over there. Hope this helps. Good luck, and hope you get better soon.

This is my old echo. I got re ended as well. The air bags alone wrote the car off. Estimated price was $18000 with labor to fix it. |

Wow that doesn't even look that bad. My airbags surprisingly did not deploy, so that will probably help...

That much frame work will take weeks to repair. Just in labor cost it might total out the car. even if they do fix it, it will never be the same, getting a frame back to OEM shape isn't easy and it is doubted that the insurance will pay to have a real high quality shop do the work. Odds are it will either be crazy expensive or will just be written off as totaled.
Sorry to hear that this happened. |

Is there any damage to the front, or is it all to the tail end?

I need a new front bumper, that's it in the front. My rear bumper ended up being attached to the car that rear ended me, and it was towed away. I need my license plate from it.

My bet is that it is totaled (particularly after doing some reshaping of that same area to allow me to weld in the supports for Crashy's dump bed). For your car a wrecked in the front Yaris would need to be located and then the entire rear third if the car would need to be transplanted. That would mean an incredible amount of labor and a finished product lacking the structural integrity it once had.

The rear of the Yaris is extremely vulnerable, and really expensive to repair. Especially the parts right in front of the rear bumper. Hopefully you can get money out of the insurance companies for injuries.

I got hit so hard that I actually hit the person infront of me. So that's why my air bags went off, I also had damage to my front bumper, windshield, etc...

With does many injuries, I think it would be best to get a lawyer involved. Since it was not your fault for the accedent.. |

Good to see you're both fine . Would be good thing if all hatchbacks had the air bag like that of the I.Q.. Not much between rear passenger and hatch door , especially if a pick up truck or larger vehicle hits the rear end . Maybe in a year or 2 . Hope you have better days ahead .
