2008 Toyota Prius severely rear ended - advice?

Well a bolt is $20,000 or so I used generation 2 Prius I'm buying those for $700 to a thousand bucks and putting maybe a thousand in them but driving them away initially so they're driving essentially so $3,000 and near 20,000 is quite a widespread a lot of us may not have that luxury. Depending upon where you are things can happen I don't know No pictures to see so you know I can't tell how bad it is could you shove a tail light in there and drive it around until you get done arguing with whoever like your insurance company their insurance company they should just cut you a check for your trouble and suffering and whatever and let you keep your car and that's what I would call the long and the short of it but if you just want to get paid give up the car and go buy a bolt well I guess that's a thing that my current age and whatnot I wouldn't look forward to spending 20 plus $1,000 on any kind of vehicle that I ride around in don't do that much riding anymore but you know everyone has a different situation I would be just jumping into my other generation too and getting the insurance company to do what I want him to do pay me some money and let me keep my parts car and I would have plenty of time to argue with them about that and I have possession of my car so it's not like they can just come take it so pay me and I'm keeping my car it's an old car you guys don't want it anyway come on there's not like we're dealing with some new Tesla here or anything like that

 

Pictures? It doesn't sound "severely". Mashed bumper and broken tail light isn't a deal breaker, but bending the car is.

We had a 2000 Subaru Legacy wagon which was rear ended hard enough to mash the hatch and bend everything posterior to the rear wheel downward with respect to the rest of the car. Totaled, of course. To Subaru's credit, everything forward of the rear wheels was just fine, including my wife, who was driving. The rear doors still opened and closed normally.

 

if the insco totals it, you can usually buy it from them. if you don't want to invest in repairs, head over to bolt.org and spend some time reviewing the purchase and ownership experiences of used bolt owners.
most seem pretty happy, and the prices are very good.
