Default XB Accident

Howdy Gang- Well - I am awaiting to hear the fate of my Lava XB. I was in an accident last Saturday and they are determining whether or not they are going to fix it or total the car out. I am sick to my stomach at this point. Has anyone else out there been in an accident with their Scion?

The passenger side is straight still, the majority of the damage is to the driver side.

ouch. I'd be sick also. how'd the airbags do when they deployed? What's your opinion of how it held up?

I thought it held up great and I felt very secure. I know that may bea funny thing to say in light of the situation. The airbags deployed, butI never came in contact with them, other than the burn I received on my arm from the deployment charge.

well you have to look at the bright side. you are one of the few that has wrecked their box and you can help those who haven't feel safer about how it held up. I think alot of people are worried due to those pics of the bB all fubared.

Doesn't look that bad they'll probably fix it. I manage a body shop and the only thing I can see that you may have a problem is the availability of replacement parts. When a car is this new most parts are slated for the assembly line. That and with the fact that these cars are built in Japan, you may be waiting a while for parts. Good luck and keep us posted on what happens.

I was hit in the rear door a couple weeks ago. They had to order some parts from Japan, but they are in already. The shop said I was lucky that I had a Toyota because they actually stop the line to take out the necessary parts needed to fix a car.
