The poor Jeep only has 2,800KM on it and it may be totaled. :(
 
So i won't discuss what happened as per the insurance companies request... But the long and the short of it is i got hit by one of those massive towable RV things and the Jeep is MESSED up... From what i could see here's what's wrong; Does it sound totaled? (Crossing fingers it's not...) (2013 2dr sport)

Front diff is leaking badly, axle tube is cracked, whole driver side body is buckled in, the shock is buckled in half, the coil spring is sitting at about a 45 degree angle, the whole axle is pushed back to the point i can't turn the wheel passenger more than a turn and if i turn driver at all the tire rubs the frame, i forget what it's called but all the bar type things connecting the hub area behind the wheel are bent, front windshield needs to be replaced, door won't close properly, front bumper is buckled etc etc... It kinda sounds written off doesn't it?

Sounds like a write off to me.

I myself would be happy it is totaled.

I'd hope it's totaled.... Then you won't have a carfax with an accident that will screw you later if you ever go to trade it in or sell it plus, you get a new jeep :) just my 2c.

True... Anyone in the know want to do a quick parts estimate for that list? Just curious...

It will depend on what your insurance company can salvage the wreak at auction that will determine it getting repaired or not. Not sure where you are how insurance works or how your laws work with buying damaged vehicles but here in Australia lets say your vehicle is insured for 40,000 and the insurance company can sell the wreak for say 10,000 then repairs have to be under 30,000 for them to repair it, anything over that and consider it written off

From what i gather that's how it works here aswell.
