Glad you are alright, but now you may have another problem. You said the airbags weren't blown, and depending on which insurance company you have, they may NOT total it. They may cut you a check for $6000 to fix it. Cars worse off than that are fixed up and sold cheap on eBay with salvage titles. If you have one of the low-end insurers like Progressive or SafeAuto, this may not end up the way you're hoping. Good luck and keep us posted.

 

grab that lower grill...still looks good... and that air filter!!

 

Just looking at the picture.,,,,the CAR IS FKED UP... i don;t think they will try to fix that even though the airbags didn.t deploy. I remember I got a quote for a new engine installed at the dealership for $4.5K. just the engine

 

im pretty sure he said he already talked to someone and they already called it totaled.

 

Make sure you let Scion Corp. know about this. It's a common problem, which shouldn't be.. Your front was done for. No reason it shouldn't have gone off..

 

frame damage engine damage body damage its not fixable

 

Yeah, it is definitely totaled. I got the statement from the body shop. Now we just wait on insurance to see what they'll give me. I hit the guard rail almost head on as you can tell, so should my air bags have gone off? I would think so. Also, good call on the grille and the air filter, I'll be sure to grab those when I go down to get my stuff on Saturday. Now the question is, depending on what the insurance company gives me, what do I buy now? I am looking to buy used something. I'm thinking about an 05 tC manual. Ideas?

 

What insurance company do you have?

 

State Farm. I have collision, liability, and comprehensive, all with the lowest deductible.

 

If you do get another TC, definitely go for the manual! Generally cheaper used, and much more fun to drive.

Really sorry about your car though, but at least you came out ok.


I think I'm gonna have stop lurking these forums. Every week, I see at least one thread with another TC damaged. It's pretty depressing, seeing as I just got mine about a month ago!

 

Well on the brighter side of things, insurance gave me a check for 17.5K and I am getting an S2000 tomorrow!

 

^^^^^^ ummmmmmm amzingggg, what year and color? ill be loooking soo post up some pics when you get it.!!

 

good call.
have fun with it.

 

It's always a good feeling to see another scion kept from contaminating the streets.

 

damn that is sad to see a tc in that condition. well glad to hear you are ok !! hope you enjoy your s2k!!!

 

 

be thankful you dont look like the car.... sorry for your loss RIP

 

without even seeing this i was about to say get a s2k

 

your fuses are showing

 

Damn thats crazy & i thought my car was bad, glad to know ur alive, i gotta ask how in da world statefarm is giving u $17.5 for 07 & they gave me $16.7 for an 08 anyways enjoy your s2k, for me i just managed to get away with a clean slate with gap insurance, although i wouldn't call the tc cursed coz its just the general age group that drives the car which is between 18-30 hence explaining all the accidents & high insurance
oh & here's a pic of my car
