Totaled or not?

[MOKE]

Was having my Rubi moved from DC to my new place in Las Vegas. 40 miles out the trucked rolled his truck and this is whats left. I think its totaled based on the windshield support being completely broken in half, but was wondering if anyone else thought the same. Sounds like it will be a few days with the holiday for an adjuster to check it out.

Doesn't look totalled to me. In KY, if the damage is inside 80% of the value, they fix it and not total it. That's only a few thousand in repairs right there.

It could be totaled if the frame is damaged. I don't know how the A-pillar is attached, but it is replaceable I'm sure. I'd be more concerned about under the hood if the hood got smashed in like that.

I’ll play - I am in for totaled. Please keep us updated.

BTW - that totally sucks, so sorry. On the bright side, nobody was hurt and you may get a brand new Jeep.

The right rear quarter panel (it that's what it's called a Jeep Wrangler) is nasty as well.

So she was on top of the carrier and 5 other cars were on the carrier. When I pulled in, the other cars were smashed and crushed to bits and my baby was standing strong. Prob took the brunt of it with the least visible damage.

It looks like mostly bolt on parts and body damage. If the frame were bent or there was some damage to the engine / transmission then maybe a total loss. As far as the engine and trans, they need to be gone through, who knows what fluids went where if she was on her side or top for long.

I’d be willing to bet that is more than a few thousand.

Wow, she was on top!? That roll bar looks like it did it's job then, and I would be worried about it's integrity at this point too.

Yea I was very happy how she held up but am also worried about the integrity of the front support and roll bar.

The hardtop alone is well over $2K...

Who is Earl Scheib?

The windshield frame, hood, and freedom panel is the only part that we can see is jacked up. That's easily repaired for only a few thousand to do it right, or less to do it quick.

Personally, I like things to be done right.

Are there more photos he hasn't added? Or that my PC hasn't downloaded? I only see three.

Based on the quantity of damage, I’d say total loss. You have many areas that need replacing, so the math says loss. Plus, the labor would be a large factor. Most insurance companies will look to replace based on the number of areas affected.

A few thousand? Do they use Earl Scheib in KY? :cwl::cwl:

Ha ha ha! “For $100 we can paint your entire car!”

An official repair cost for the hard top would be a few thousand alone, I think.

Looks like five figures to me.
