I was in a car accident about 1.5 month ago in Los Angeles. The other driver lied at the scene and claimed I ran a red light, but I was driving straight through a green light and they hit me while turning left. I didn’t have a dash cam, so I hired a lawyer mainly because I wanted help proving I wasn’t at fault.

My lawyer keeps telling me they sent a third-party investigator but haven’t gotten a response yet.

I’m curious — do lawyers actually use third-party investigators for cases like this? And can it really take over a month to get camera footage, witnesses, or intersection evidence? (Police incident report has the witness phone number clearly)

I’m getting anxious because I feel like nothing is happening, and I don’t know how long these investigations usually take

Has anyone here taken their Taos to around 200,000 miles?

If so, what year is it and what kind of maintenance or major repairs have you had to do along the way?

My heart wants Taos so bad, but I drive crazy miles everyday. Any taos owner here who drives this much, could you please tell me if you have had any issues with it?

Im considering 24 or 25 Taos. How often do you change the rear break pads? I’m coming from 2013 Prius, but I don’t like how low it sits and I can’t afford another Japanese car hybrid. I personally like VW interiors and looks so much better than other Japanese brands. I saw that 23-24 rear break pads wearing off so quickly every 2-3 months? How’s yours? If there is anything you don’t like about the car, please let me know. Do you recommend to buy 24 or 25 Taos? (Let me know how many miles you have driven the car also!! ) thank you in advance!
