thats wild!
i havent seen a burnt car in a wile.
i used to work at a salvage yard and we would burn a car every now and then on accident.
cars burn so fast and so hot.
most of them would burn themselves out in less then 5 min.

...Oh, the irony of your username! WOW!
I know the loss is tough, but you can be thankful that you were not physically hurt.
Good luck with Scion and State Farm. Hopefully, they do you right and get everything taken care of without any hassle.
So, what do you have your eye on now as far as wheels are concerned? Are you going to stick with the box family or are you thinking of something else?

Hate to see any box hurt, but having one burn to the ground somehow seems even worse. (I guess it's the thought of standing there, watching it burn, and not being able to do anything to stop it.)
DEFINITELY get Scion Corporate involved with this immediately! (Since they are already involved in some way, stay in contact with them...)
TELEPHONE
Call the Scion Customer Experience at 1.866.70.SCION.
ADDRESS
19001 S. Western Ave
D102 PO BOX 2742
Torrance, CA 90509-2742
That new a car, unmodified (and an RS4 Limited Edition) needs to have corporate in on it.
Please let u know how everything is goind, and how things are working out.

*Big Update*
*Big Update*
So the investigation was done yesterday and they found out that the fire started on the back left side of the radio. There's no way to tell exactly what the cause was just the area it started.
On a side note, i found out that i had a 5 Year Unlimited Warranty and GPP Insurance. GPP Insurance is basically GAP but it also covers your deductible.
So no money out of pocket for me and the car will be fully paid off. Plus Insurance will cover the original price of the rims purchased from Toyota.

Well its great that both Scion and State Farm are going to write off your car and your not left paying for something you no longer have ... but what about setting you up with another ride? You did have some capital in the car, no? Or were you in the hole with it?

With the value State Farm quoted me, I'm in the hole. They show the retail value at 11,500. I'm trying to get them to push the value where its suppose to be which is around $16k.
If they end up getting the value up i will get a little back, if not my GAP will have to help a little.

I'd be getting nasty over that insult. Kell BB says $15,500.00 private party.Here ya go @ $17,995.00 http://freerevs.com/car/19654068
Another for $15,288.00 http://www.earnhardttoyota.com/carDe...KT324864127943
But I would buy this one for $13 http://houston.craigslist.org/ctd/1452834116.html
Or this on for $12 http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/cto/1421532280.html
Best thing is to send them listings of the same B going for those higher numbers. They should step up.
