I think some are underestimating the cost of an ICBC repair, for the record this was a $10k claim. Passenger's side taillight cracked (driver's side fine), crack on the trunk, and bumper pushed in slightly.
Cousin was rear ended by a pickup truck while he was stopped at a red light. Car was only picked up 2 weeks prior and now has a $10k claim on it.
"With NVR+, if your vehicle is damaged to just over 50 per cent of its market value, it will be considered a writeoff and you’ll receive the full replacement value."
he told me it was around $31,000 for it w/ taxes back in sept 2016
Does your friend have NVR+ ? I'll post an image of my accident for reference of cost, it was about mid to high $9K. I'm pretty sure it's because with NVR+, if it's not a write off, you can ask for oem parts at no additional cost, as it's included with NVR+ .
Had front and rear crash bars (not sure if right term), front and rear bumpers, grille, foglight assembly, and exhaust system replaced with all oem parts.
even if it's not a write off I would strongly suggest for ICBC to write off and pay me for the car. I wouldn't want to be rear ended again in that car lol

Hmm I'm curious now to see how a rebuilt vehicle holds up in an accident.

For sure a write off. I'm surprised the topic is "is this a write-off?" and not "is my friend okay?"
That's a big hit for a modern car lol
Moderns cars are made to absorb the impact as much as possible before hit the cabin.
look at the interior, although the glass is shattered, it doesn't look like interior was damaged.
If the car didn't break, the passenger will be directly absorbing all the impact.
Also it was probably hit by a lifted pick up truck or something. As you can see, it hit the trunk and kinda missed the impact absorber under the bumper.

the back window is broken because the trunk lid folded over and smashed into the glass.

Yeah, 5-car pile up in rush hour traffic northbound on knight bridge. Cars 1,2,3 were all at full stop. Cars 4 and 5 had it worse. I'm pretty sure the 7th gen civic (car 4) was totalled. This happened Jan 2016 tho. Weird thing is that around the same time, there was a 5-car pileup southbound.
Coincidentally, my buddies accident with his Titan, that I mentioned above, was on Knight street as well near that same area.

whats with knight street? way too many accidents on both the bottom of the bridge going southbound and this weird little downhill part leading up to turn off for marine drive.
There should be a dedicated lane from the knight bridge to the off ramp lane onto marine dr.

Accidents on Knight Bridge happen more often than it should when it rains. People tailgate in traffic, pick up speed when traffic starts moving, then the person in front of them slows down and an accident occurs if they either aren't paying attention or can't brake in time.
Looks like the Ford Ranger driver wasn't paying attention and slammed into the Accord. The Mazda3 following behind managed to slow after seeing the Ranger suddenly stop after slamming into the Accord, but it still hit the Ford Ranger (not much damage to the Ranger, but you can see the 3's hood crumpled).
Stuff like this is why the ICBC handbook suggests maintaining distances suitable to safely come to a complete stop if the vehicle in front of you went to an immediate stop.
So it was a write off.. they estimated 24,000+ to repair it. Ouchy...
Surprisingly the estimator said it was still repairable due to the subframe being in okay condition.
Wonder whats going to happen now with that heap. My buddy's taking a cheque but we are curious if we can steal the wheels and tires (replace them with some old snow tires and steelies) before he signs it over to ICBC.
I would not do that , they have documentation and pictures of the vehicle.
You can ask them for the rims and tire but they will reduce the amount paid.

you can forget about it. My dad got into an accident with winters and steelies and ICBC asked for the original wheels.
^ if your dad was unable to produce the OEM wheels would ICBC reduce the pay out amount?
