totaled 2013 30k miles

Early morning drive to work slid out and lost control wound up tipping on my side no injuries to me but the trucks side airbags deployed everyone i have shared the story with is saying totalled...anyone have experience.....

 

Glad you are well.
Too fast for conditions? Such little visible exterior damage.
Consider buying it back from the insurance company if they ttl it.

 

I'd bet it's not totalled. a 2013 with 30k miles is still worth $23k+

 

Honestly looks pretty legit still. I bet shes alright.

 

Each side airbag is $740 brand new OEM at Village Toyota Parts, so about $1500 for the set. It adds to the repair cost, but not as much as you think.

Here come the vultures for the ARB.


Glad you're ok.

 

Honestly going 30 mph..... the recent moisture in the area and the temperature dropping has made it super slick... i drive that road every day to work just not that early in the morning......

 

And out of curiosity, any ideas on why the passenger curtain deployed there was nothing in passenger seat and i didnt rock i literally tipped on my side.... and thanks for the responses

 

From the pictures it looks like there is very minimal exterior damage... Maybe a fender and a mirror... Even with the expensive airbag repairs it shouldn't be totaled, should it? 2013's are still worth quite a bit

 

Maybe just an extra safety precaution Toyota has in 2013's

 

30K truck rolling on the crap tires. Glad your ok.

 

Yes its totaled in the sense insurance companies do in fact total the car if the air bags deployed even if the damage is light. That said, Tacos retain so much value that they may repair a 2013 instead of writing it off. A 2103 F150 would be totaled out. Hopefully they repair it.

 

No, they don't. Insurance companies repair vehicles all the time that have the air bags deployed

 

needs to have more damage then 60% of its value to be totaled

 

I am in the industry and the policy is not to repair them. I am not sure where you are getting your info.

 

to save money,the seat has a weight sensor that turns off the airbar so it wont go off if no one is sitting there

 

Not true any more. Remember front air bags are as much as 5 grand for the parts only. Add in the damage it takes to set one off and its a 10 grand repair.

 

working at the car dealer as a manager for 20 yrs,we would see cars come in all the time for repairs before we sent them to the body shop.
no ins company's dont total a car just cause air bags went off.

 

wrong again
my wife which drives like shit crashed her 2010 acura tl and air bags went off and it was fixed perfectly.they also fixed the sub frame(crumple zones too)
