Yaris vs. Tahoe - Toyota Yaris Forums

Was there really no damage to the Tahoe itself?

$10.5K in damage on a $14K car and they didn't total it? I guess because the back is the easiest part of the body structure to fix without future problems.

Well, I don't know what terminology you use, but usually salvaged means totaled.

No, they are two different meanings.

Totalled refers to damage that is either unrepairable or repairs that costs more than what it is worth.

Salvage refers to damage that is extensive but is reasonably repairable.

Aside from a couple of really small scratches on the front bumper...
Nope.

They wouldn't total it and instead decided to salvage it, and by that I mean it was a possible total, but they decided to 'fix' it back up to 'new'.
