FS: 2008 Yaris Sedan Runs and Drives - Front end Crashed

[CTScott]

Thank you for the additional pictures. I would still be interested, but unfortunately, only for purposes of parting it out. Although on the surface it doesn't look that bad, based on my experience, I see a bit more damage that what is financially practical for putting it back on the road.

The killer is that bend front frame member on the driver's side. If just the bumper supports (the parts meant to crumple) were damaged it would be OK, but the damage beyond that point requires expensive time on a frame machine to repair. It isn't something that can be hammered out or even pulled back into shape with a Tacoma (don't ask, but yes).

I did a targeted search before picking by Yaris up from the dealer body shop. This post was very helpful....prompted me to ask the parts rep the right question and he actually printed out the parts diagrams for the bumper areas (both front and rear) for my car . Even though the other driver's insurance company paid for the repair, they still gave me a copy of the receipt. With the diagram from the parts department in hand, I could see
which part numbers were replaced. Unfortunately, the name of the parts only appears live on their system when you move the pointer/cursor over the picture of the part or the part number (I forget which one).
