I HIGHLY doubt that a "door came down on your car" every shop I've ever been to/worked at had sensors (pressure sensors) in the rubber at the bottom of the door as well as light sensors at either side of the door that won't let it go down unless it has a clear line of sight to the other side. Besides that, the button is AT the door and there's no way somebody hit the button and didn't notice there was a car in the way. If they did infact bring the door down on it then your case is even more solid, because not having either of those sensors or bypassing them is extremely negligent and Toyota/Scion would get up the owner's ___ for having allowed it - and the further up you can get people's attention the better.

If I had to guess I'd say it's more likely someone backed it into a lift or lowered a lift on it, but I'd have to see pics of the damage to be sure.

In either case, try and get them for all they're worth because in the end you're going to settle for less than you asked for.

 

GET A LAWYER

Not trying to be Mean, but do it! it will SAVE you money in the end...

Care to post pics as well?

 

i'll give you mike wirth's contact e-mail, he's like the northeast regional "president" (i don't know his actual title), i'm sure he can get your word up to the owners of scion.

 

Get a lawyer, bro. If this happened to me, I would do the same.

 

i rolled my car last night. i'm ok, but car i don't think is going to make it. shame. was a good car. i had gap insurance, so maybe that'll cover a rollover.

hit black ice, and back end went out on me, slid across from slow lane to fast lane, then hit embankment in middle of north/south of highway. rolled once (that i know of) and landed on passenger side roof. i'm boned...

 

Glad to hear you're okay. yaaay for insurance. Too bad though, that car was coming together. You planning on getting another one? Make a new thread about it and post pics!

 

i know, i already stripped the sub and stuff i had in out. i gotta grab all the LED lighting out. and the interior 7 color kit. it still works.

we'll see what insurance says. after i pay the deductible, i will see what happens. just a little disappointing, but hey, i already got my rental. a 2010 cobalt.

i don't mean to jack the thread. but figured i'd let you guys what may happen since i have the new car and gap insurance.

also, WEAR YOUR SEATBELT. it saved my life during the rollover. i stayed right in my seat and didn't move.

 

Damn dude...Glad your alright...Got any pics?

 

yeah, i'll throw them up eventually

 

Might you still have your receipts from any of the upgrades you did that didn't make it? Some (certainly not all) insurance companies will add that to the total loss value if it comes to that. Best of luck.

 

my upgrades are ok... all the LED's work, the bra isn't torn, my LED tubes inside still work... my stereo and sub still work... so yeah, just physical to the car.

here's pics... http://www.hellzhawtdogz.com/oscar/i...41184#msg41184

 

Sorry to hear about the car, but at least you're in one piece. Are you going to get another XD? If you are, you may want to yank the header on your old one and see if you can port it out. If you are not, I would be interested in buying the header if your insurance doesn't mind. Sorry again about the wreck and sorry for sounding like a scavenger. Hope you're doing well.

 

you are like the 3rd person interested in my pioneeer upgraded head unit. i will be yanking it out, but i can't port it, because the 2010 xD i'm getting (black currant) comes with the upgraded alpine radio, which, i was playing with last night. IT ROCKS!!!

i'll let you know on the others if they don't take it first., but you're like 3rd in line

 

Sorry about that. I meant the exhaust header or exhaust manifold.

On another note I recently upgraded to the alpine gps unit (08545-00931) with the three blue buttons on each side. It's ok, but I wish I had done some research first. I wanted to still use my controls on the steering wheel, but I found out that the eclipse avn726e should work with the controls by just plugging it in and maybe a software download from eclipse (oh well too late). If you're thinking about getting the stock gps that I currently have, one gripe I have is that it doesn't chapter skip via the wheel controls like the base unit did. What I mean is, if you have a burned mp3 CD and have different artist and albums, if you hold the skip track button down it will skip to the next album/artist. If you do this with the gps unit it just cycles back to the first song in the same folder.

 

Sorry to hear about it... just make sure the next car you get has stability control... this is just the kind of accident that VSC is designed to prevent. Of course, VSC isn't 100% effective, but it might have made the difference.

 

another xD? I guess you won't be selling those lights then congrats on the 16k

 

this one is 2010 with VST standard!!!!

and the alpine upgraded system. nice to play with, can't wait to own it tomorrow.

and uskrewed, yes, i'm taking all my LED's and re-using them. sorry. but i do have a pioneer upgraded head unit for sale...

 

I like the 200 watts of the new system from alpine. Could you make a data disk of mp3s to see if you may skip chapters with the steering wheel controls like the old base unit?

 

you cannot. unfortunately.

 

you can go here, and bid on the car. LOL

engine is still in excellent condition. the only problem i could see is getting it to your location. but if you could make up the money and some profit from parting out the engine... i would so do it.
