    I rear ended someone with my 2009. Ironically I bought this car from Copart with front end damage in the exact same location, but at first glance this looks way worse than what I can repair. I am going to tear into it now. Any thoughts? It's already leaking some coolant and the thermos pump sounds unwell. Can't tell if the A/C condenser is still holding Freon or not based off initial impression as was only running the car very briefly to get it on to the dolly and then into the garage.

    This is devastating. The car has 203k. It has the following new OEM Toyota parts installed at 155k (warning - this will be painful): A/C Condenser, radiator, mechanical water pump, serpentine belt, idler pulley w/ bearing, inverter pump, 3 way valve, and thermostat. The stealership has changed the brake fluid and charged the A/C. The worst part? The coolant and CVT fluid were both changed at 200k and it has a full tank of gas.

    p.s. just thought about how my set of FIAMM freeway blasters fared :(:cry:
