This is a tough thread to write. The night before last a guy made an illegal U turn right into the side of my LX. I spun the truck after the impact trying to avoid him.
Happily everyone is uninjured.
The truck has damage along the whole passenger side, the passengers doors won't open, the rear axle is possibly bent, and the drivers airbag and the passengers curtain airbag deployed.
I'm bummed.
Insurance is going to look at it today, and let me know what we're going to do. However, I'm pretty sure they're going to total it. I'm nervous that they're going to lowball me on the offer. I've saved a few dealer listings for similar vehicles for sale around me, but as you guys know Land Cruisers are kind of rare, so finding an apples to apples comparison is proving to be difficult.
I'm hoping I can get the insurance company to pony up somewhere around $20k. It's a (previously) mint 07 LX with 150k and nightview.
I'm just happy my family wasn't in the car, and that everyone's ok. Things like this really give you some perspective into how fragile life is.
