so mom got in an accident with her lexus IS

Glad she is ok. The other persons ins will get her a new IS.. I think it only takes about 10 lbs to activate the airbag sensor.

 

o i thought it was like 80 just in case little kids sat there, im probably wrong, but then her purse wouldve set it off then

 

I heard of that accident from a friend who was passing by. Glad to hear she is ok. Them Lexus have hella airbags in them. Had a IS350 for lease and it was a blast to drive!

 

yea hers is only a 250 but i shes looking at a 350 right now, it was over bye edison high school where she works

 

x2. my 3 doesn't take much weight at all to engage the airbag.

 

glad to here she ok!!!!! i never seen floor airbags

 

glad she's ok...I've had family members that weren't so lucky. I wouldn't hesitate to go after their asses...I have zero sympathy for someone who runs stop signs/traffic lights.

 

Ouch!! Sorry about her car, but it can be replaced. Glad she came through unscathed.

 

Looks totaled to me. Keep us posted on what the insurance says. I wouldn't want it back if they fixed it. Safety issue and the cat won't purrrr the same if you know what I mean.

 

Dang you guys put some miles on that thing. Was it bought brand new? Yea that would suck if it was just newly paid off and something like this happens.

 

yea we bought it brand new, my sister is big time into softball and she played for a team in LA and we live in Fresno, bout a 4 hour drive and my parents did it every weekend for 2 years, plus drove it to colorado 4 times, and south dakota twice

 

the insurance is saying its a total and we all figured that, but they still havent given us an amount there going to give us, O i forgot to mention the lady was in a rental car too

 

Whoa well I hope she didn't opt out of the rental insurance then.

 

Insurance company will do a comp on price around the area for the exact same vehicle and will base their price on that with bluebook. They did the same when one of my car was totaled. Not a great area I might add. More chances of people around there not having insurance. I was working around that area awhile back and people were dealing drugs right in front me. ( MLK and California)Which I don't really care anyway.

 

actually the insurance company doesnt use bluebook for some reason, they said they are not aloud too, they look at sale prices of the same year of car and try to get the best estemate they can on what those cars are selling for and thats what they base it on, its weird. Well that area gets a lot worse rep than it actually is now, my mom loves working over there, haha on the other hand a few months ago i went on a ride along with my dad and we went to the neighborhood across the street and some little kid like age 3 was throwing gang signs at us (we were in a cop car) lol

 

I get a lot of people freaking out when I'm in their yard. Especially them gangstas there. I was a contractor for pge for awhile and man people there always accuse me of being an undercover.

 

haha now that is funny
