Minor collision with my Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

Found out today that the autobody shop had the wrong model for my car on the estimate. They had my car as a 4 Dr Sedan, which I definitely don't have. I have an RS 2 Dr HB.

Well it is interesting in that the bumper cover for the sedan is more money than the RS model. So .. I got them to correct it, but I still haven't heard from the insurance company so I don't know if I will be fixing my car.

I refuse to pay 500$ (my deductable) out of my pocket for an accident that wasn't my fault. I don't think that I am being overly cheap, just being realistic as it just isn't worth it to me. Sure my Yaris is slightly banged up .. but I am not going to be the one to pay for it.

I'd say next step = wait to hear back from the insurance company.
