Default Got Sandwiched

So my IS250 got sandwiched today...
Edit: Insurance decided to total the vehicle. RX350 and GS350 test drives will be in the near future.




Here it is at the tow yard:



So what do you think? Will insurance salvage it? There is some crumple in the rear quarter panel that the pics didn't really capture. I definately dont want it back after this...

Damn bro....I'm sorry for your loss. Definitely looks like it will be a fortune in repairs. I wouldn't want to drive it after knowing how badly it has been hurt either. Hopefully they salvage it and you can get a USB out of the deal

ouch. that makes me cringe. its possible that the insurance company will claim it totaled considered the amount of damage to both ends of the car. the rear frame looks like it received a lot of damage. good luck with it. i hope you weren't hurt in this accident.

Girlfriend was actually driving it when it got rear ended. We just got back from the hospital from doing xrays. She seems ok now but I also fear she will be miserable in the next few days. Next step is going to get a lawyer....
