It's sad that this is a brand new 2009 Camry and against my 2002 CW comparing just "nice" (comfort, noise, power, handling, accessories, etc) The Camry is a total pile of nasty. I mean that really is sad. You can buy an IS300 for $11-15k or pay double for a new Camry that is not half as nice in ANY WAY whatsoever. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING this brand new 2009 Camry does as good as the 2002 CW I left at their body shop and I am very subjective and unbiased because I've been raised by a Toyota family.

Don't know, don't care. Came out, called the po-po, got a report, drove away.

His insurance paying 100% + 100% rental and expenses. I don't need an explanation, just a fix.

In American everyone want's to blame and tell a story, sometimes to the point the problem itself is submerged and the blame takes the center stage in priority. I like the Japanese method. Find what's F'ed up and fix it. THEN find who's responsible and fix that too.

Thank ya, it'll be done well I believe. This is the lexus dealer so you'd think it won't turn out like earl scheib. The repairs and damage from the wreck are:


• Driver door wind noise at top rear corner, misaligned as well.
• Window misaligned, now it doesn’t roll up correctly. It did before being struck.
• Driver fender
• Front bumper
• Passenger front wheel scraped up when car pushed sideways in mountain stone parking lot.
• Passenger rocker panel under door needs fixed. (I tried to pull it back out with a suction tip slide hammer, but that metal is double thickness on the rockers).

Wow... just saw the pics... people these days don't have any respect for other people's personal property.

Good luck with the repairs. Hopefully the IS comes back better than before.
