So this happened this weekend..

I've found www.Partsouq.com to be a good reference website for parts and to be fairly inexpensive myself. I like how their website is set-up with VIN identification and hyperlinked parts diagrams.

Honestly though, the vehicle may end up being a total.

Well guys, looks like luck was on my side.. insurance approved damages which totaled to $2600.00. I'm a happy camper..

Whew! Glad to hear it. I bet that'll make some people rest easier knowing the insurance won't total out trucks at the drop of a dime. Is till feel like you could save some money on replacing the body parts yourself. Paint may get $$$ if you can't find the right colors. I would have a shop work on my suspension though.

so you get 2600 + truck - buy back costs?

plenty enough money to redo the front suspension and have it better than condition it was in before (assuming it didn't F up your front diff)

The repairs HAVE to be 100% of the value of the car in Texas for them to total it.

I mentioned the alignment being off from the accident, they were going to take care of it.. Ill make sure of it before I pick it up.

No, I dont get $2600 check.. the insurance pays the Body Shop directly. If I would have received that check, I would have ebayed all the exterior parts damaged and stocked up on a full front end suspension from toyota.. Oh well..

true, well I guess that proves my T4R is worth more than $2600, haha.
