Ouch!!!
My 2007 IS 350 was hit last w/e. May be totaled...
It took us forever to find a white one w/i driving distance.
If so, is there a way to post at WTB in the classifieds? There's a rule that I must post 30X to "SELL" a vehicle, but I am just searching to buy.
Thanks so much!

It may not necessarily be a write-off. Mine had a few hits on it before I purchased it, but was not written off.
I have had 0 issues from the accidents because everything was fixed properly. Just meant that I have newer headlights and my hood and front bumper have barely any rock chips or flaws.
How bad does it look under the hood? Air bags go off?

Fortunately, the airbags did not deploy (on our car!). We ran into a car that failed to yield...and we were unable to dodge them b/c the other lane was already occupied. Her car is totaled. So glad there was no passenger.
That said, I can verify that the seat-belts work GREAT! (And I have the chest/shoulder pain and bruises to prove it.) Not really complaining b/c it certainly beats using the windshield as a restraint!
They're not done tearing it down but are already at $9K... It's going to be close.
Haven't seen under the hood. We own a repair shop (not body shop), so anything not body-related, Hubby could fix.

You can create a want to buy in the Lexus vehicle classified section anytime.

Thanks FSport! I'll be fine in the end...no fractures, just super sore. Glad I'm not working, but it is still restricting my ability to do the simplest things...like vacuuming. (Then again, I hate to vacuum!)
And, yes, it made me sick to see it wrecked. I've had it less than a year and had worked my way up to my "dream" car. This too shall pass. Cars can be replaced.

I think the only thing that puts it in true danger of a total is the age. If it were a couple of years newer, I don't think there would be any way they'd even consider it. We have a great body shop. They say they can make it good as new...as long as insurance will play along. Fingers crossed!

Yep, I agree with you. Are you getting the IS again if it is total?

It was two lanes turning left.....I was in the left left turn lane and he was in the right. We were both going on the green arrow and he stopped all of a sudden and made the turn into me and dragged me along. I'm glad I didn't hit the median and ruin the left side of my car too. Needless to say I got my deductible back from that accident when he was cited for an improper uturn lol.
