    I have not talk to them yet do to the fact that i can not take my car to the dealer until monday because everything is closed. I am pretty sure there is some type of damage to the frame. My subwoofer does not work anymore, my hatch when opened feels weird. I just want to know how to go about it with them befor i speak with them.

    Well, there's not much you can really do without getting a quote from them as to what they will give you. There are many factors in the equation. Once they tell you what they are willing to give you, let us know and we can help you decide your course of action. I agree with you though, if there is indeed frame damage, it would be best to just get rid of it. It would never be the same.

    You can take it to an independent body/frame shop for a quote. They can usually tell right then and there if there is any actual frame damage. Frame damage is not necessarily a fubar situation. The Scion maintenance manual has full specs for checking and repairing a damaged frame. Can you post some pics of the damage, from under the car, inside the trunk, and and from the rear with the hatch closed?

    I got rear ended recently too. I was completely dead stopped and idiot ran into me going at least 45 mph and I didn't get frame damage. However, I know from previous accidents, even if there is slight frame damage, which is inevitable from any impact, body shops actually test it and make sure its within a certain ratio away from factory.

    I feel your pain. Mine was a hit and run. I am thankful that I did not catch him as I would be your penpal from The Pen. I have a terrible temper when it comes to people who mess with my cars.

    Oh I can only imagine. Luckily, my friend knew just how much my car means to me and he flipped out and proceeded to chase after the jerk while I was having a melt down.
