Rear End Collision, Totaled? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Two years ago I would have said that was not probably a write off. Today I am not so sure. As the cars drop in value the line between cost of repair and price of the car also drops. Since most areas use a percentage of value as the determining factor and the price of repairs remains the same then they hit that write off threshold faster. The down side of this of course is that you also get less for it when they do write it off.

I would definitely be seeing a doctor and thinking about contacting a lawyer. That is a serious impact!

Even if it isn't totaled... I wouldn't want it back. That is rough.

We'll see about the new 86, still on the fence about the new front bumper haha plus idk if it will be considered totaled yet.

there's still the 17 brz on the other side of the sunny road my friend xD

Thats probably totaled
Last week I made a left turn on a green arrow and some idiot comes flying thru the light, hits his brakes swerves between me and ends up plowing into the other lane of traffic which was at a stop (because when the lights red ya stop moron) Cop was behind me and I actually slept on the green arrow because I was messing with the radio. Thought damn, im gona get a ticket for not going when I was supposed to. Glad I slept on the light because that moron would have tore my car in half. I did not stop when I saw this idiot collide, I just went on, the cop lit up and pulled into the mess

If it does get totalled I hope someone will put that car back to life.

I'm guessing its totaled by looking at the pix.

The driver side airbag is the only airbag that went off.

Bummer

the airbags alone plus the seatbelts will shoot up repairs high I would make sure to see the doctor as well too to make sure.

Try to get the max value you can from the car.

FR-Sky · 06-28-2016, 03:03 PM

I am glad you are ok.
I think it will be totaled for sure.

Doubletap · 06-28-2016, 03:09 PM

Yeah good thing is you're ok. If they don't total it, make sure you get compensated for everything, including the diminished value of the car. Regardless of how good a job the body shop will do, you'll get less for the car had it been accident-free. Can't escape the reality that is Carfax.

Well now, Spaz360 ...... that is a shame your car got messed up ........

Freaking people not paying attention to what they are doing ......

Welcome to posting (although that was a rough first post).

Is it "totaled" .. ?? I'd give it a coin toss.

I wonder what the safety procedure is in an FR-S seconds before impact and during impact; considering how safe an FR-S is in withstanding an automobile accident...
