Heart broken

I was in a car accident the end of Sept. The guy rear ended me going 70. I didnt have as much damage so i thought maybe my car was fixable. My windows were even still intact i was even able to open my trunk. Just found out today that my car is totaled. Apparently i was hit with such force that half my frame is shattered all the way up to the back seats. The guys said hes never seen anything this bad. Now im stuck in this crappy rental and have to look for a new car. What is a good suv replacement that will not cost an arm and a leg? I literally cried on the phone. This is my favorite vehicle. Its the only one I've ever found with a camera on the passenger side mirror. And i have to find a dr to re eval me. My back pain has gotten worse. I think the ER should have at least gave me scan but they didnt.

I hope you were fully insured and that your company can recoup the costs from the driver who ran into you - including costs for back care/physio.

I'm not an SUV expert but I once owned a 2001 Toyota Landcruiser and I can warn never buy that particular year of that model. It had a unique program for its electronic locks, which meant that when I lost both keys I had to pay $1600 for a locksmith to buy the program from Toyota so that he could reprogram a new set of keys. That program was only ever used for that year of that model - too rare to be worth it for most locksmiths.

@hartfire yes i was fully insured. I had 1 more month until i paid the car off. I'm hoping to get everything paid for by the other guys insurance.

Oh wow i well definitely add that to the list of vehicles not to buy.

@IceQueen88 You probably don't want a 24-year-old vehicle, in any case.
