write off, airbags deployed and the entire front end is caved in.. sorry

, scrap the car and get a cheque from insurance, even if u fix it, its never the same after, and god forbid if u fixed it and got into another frontal accident you'd probably end up dead/alot worse then the first time. (structural integrity is null and void after any major accident)

I'd have to agree: that's definitely totaled.

Sorry for the loss and hope that you are okay.

Thanks! Very minor injuries with this one. I would not trust this car again.

I just bought out the car less than 2 months ago. Will insurance pay the price I juuust paid?

Btw - the transport truck that hit our car took off. 401E/Dixie collectors 9:30am Dec 16th in Mississauga. I'm not sure if the police found the driver.

They'll pay the book value.

Just out of curiosity, is this a typo? Did you mean that say that you would trust this car (i.e. a Yaris) again? Anyway, that must've been very frightening to get hit by a truck. Better that it's the car that gets totalled, and not your body.

I meant to say I would not trust this particular car even if it was fixed. Would I buy another (new) Yaris? For Sure!
