bit sad. wonder if forumite?

Doesn’t look bad and the “no-water” is telling but parts are so expensive it’s not a surprise they are easily written off

Yep, it is sad to see

Looks like frontal damage so probably the crumple zone compromised.
All this safety trying to protect us from being paralysed or killed is ruining lots of what would have been easy repaired vehicles. We need to get our priorities in order if we want to go green.

And some big solid steel bumpers…

No better plan? Taking parts out or something? It makes me really sad to see such things. Not really used but going to the destruction.

I assume it’s been bought by that firm from an insurance company who have written it off. I seriously doubt anyone will buy it to repair it so it will be dismantled for parts

This one in LA has very minor damage to right rear and ended up at a wreckers (not sure if has been posted before), in any other brand this would have been economical to repair.

Looks pretty good to me.

Other issues we have with modern vehicles is all the airbags that can go off destroying the interior, huge replacement costs. I would have hoped that wouldn't be the case with these due to potential off road damage.
Does the off road button disable the air bags?

I doubt it. What if you rolled over , or over a cliff?

Can’t believe thats a write off! Surely not that much to repair?

This is on every FB page around the planet - if it looks like a scam, and reads like a scam, I’m guessing it’s a…………

You would think that job could be passed to the apprentice in most panel shops, its either a lack of parts availability in US or a lack of ambition from LA body shops that landed it at the wreckers.

Seems fish, still tempted though lol. Theoretically seems smart to have a salvage titled IG tucked away in a garage for spares

Indeed, in the vast majority of cases, airbag deployment is an automatic write off.
