TURBO.........DROOL. i already found an sc300 in the area for about 10k. i'm sure i can talk them down though. first road trip is to toyomoto after that. i'm lookin at a chunk of change for this accident. work van. commercial insurance. i have 3 breaks in my left hand and breaks pay more. plus some good neck and back pain.

My bumper was smashed in, both tailights cracked, trunk smashed in the middle and lifted a good 5-6 inch and my passenger rear quater panel (i think thats what you call it where the bumper connects to the rear body) was bented as well. Damages was $ 3.5K. [/B]
I agree that the damage is a hell of a lot when dealing with our cars. But my point was more how the sc's keep the passengers safe with no regards to the amount of damage to the car. The front is tough because we have that monster 4.0 v8 (sc400) and the sides are tough because of those heavy doors and side impact beams. When it comes to accidents such as the ones posted (pictures) I don't see repair costs at all.

The side impact picture on the beige SC shows more damage than a 95+ SC will sustain. In 1995 they beefed up the side impact bars to meet 1997 standards.

SC400onDubz, the rear end folds in much more because they need crumple zones that divert the force away from the gas tank.

VegasSC400, happy hunting, looks like you'll be changing your handle pretty soon .
