I was driving home yesterday and I'm following behind this truck with a trailer carrying a mustang, and im a good 5 car lengths behind him. The guy in front of him turned left without a directional and the driver of the truck didnt notice in time to slow down and give me time to brake so he locked his brakes up and slid out and i slammed into the back of his steel trailer...bye bye #865.

I just took some pictures today at the boneyard...heres the damage.

front driver side:

all 3 airbags went off:

the oh so lovely rs grill:

front passenger:

top rs grill still in tact(took it home with me from the boneyard):

odometer read 2016 after the accident

...as you can see the lower RS grill didnt make it but the top is still flawless if anyones interested.

well....I'm still alive, thats a good thing..and so is my friend that was the passenger...although he had to get checked out at the hospital he came home that day fine just bruised.

be careful !!

 

[mrbrace]

wow man that totally sucks...good thing you are ok, that looks terrible

so whats going to happen now? You have full coverage?

 

[damien1023]

wow, sorry to hear that. at least youre alive though, thats all that matters

 

[Plissken]

Glad everyone is ok.

 

[Obike]

Glad everyone is alright! It always sucks when you are in a wreck.

 

[Shark_bite]

that sucks, but remember cars are replacable, lives are not. if it was the other drivers fault his insurance should cover it. im glad to hear everyone is ok! don't worry about it, soon you should be rolling in a new tc and thats always cool right?

 

[serith]

get an 06 now

But really, I get sick to my stomach looking at photos like that.. and I'm glad you're ok.

 

[thescone]

How much do you want for the rs grill?

 

[Drift Motion]

wow this sucks!!!! glad u r okay!!

only the front is damaged, u still can sell other parts cant u??

 

[moriarty]

wow, I am glad you are alright.


now,

you should pull the side mirrors and sell them to somebody on scion life with a RS xA. and I think I might be interested in that grill too.

but, this is a sad day. what color are you gonna get next?

If your insurance company offers it, and almost all do, you should absolutely buy the car back for parts. Sale (or retention) of the rims alone would more than offset the cost of the buyback.

 

[VoLIMIT]

Do you have GAP insurance?

 

[djhax]

Ouch man, sorry to hear about that

 

[divadax]

I don't think it's going to be totalled.

 

[zoltiz]

RS grills MSRP of $1200 will help with getting it totalled. New dash, 3 airbags - that's another $2-3K. Bumper cover, plus whatever is damaged behind it will finalize the "totalling"

I had a very minor dent on the driver's rear quarter. It cost over $3k to fix. It is pretty easy to total a tC.

Right you are. The airbags alone will top $3k.

The wreck in my Honda looked considerably less severe, had no airbag deployment, and resulted in $5600 in damage. His will likely be in the $10k-12k range. Depending on the insurance carrier, and how much they will repair before declaring a total loss (AAA will only repair up to 60% of fair market value) will determine whether or not they write it off.

The damages are right on the bubble, as far as I can see.

Wow sorry to hear that. At least you can be thankful youre alright. What are you going to do now? Are you going to buy another tc?

 

[kurker]

Definately part the car out if you can. I want my RS to become more rare but not like that and not this soon! I'm glad you're ok. I hope you get everything worked out quickly.

PM me if you're selling anything I am always interested in parts.
