Jeep cherokee totaled?

[Stalefishsk8er]

Hey yesterday I let my sister drive my jeep (bad idea) and she got into an accident with it and the front bumper mounts got bent and the driver side mount almost sheared off the vehicle so is this repairable and will the insurance company consider it a totaled vehicle?

Hard to say without looking at the damage.

You have full coverage on a '95?

I think my folks do have full coverage on the vehicle but right now it needs a new grill lol

A lot of times any repair costs that exceed the blue book value of the vehicle will cause the insurance co. to total it. BUT, after getting paid the measly amount the insurance co. thinks it is worth, it can be bought back from them cheaply and you then fix it. If they want to go that route, I would just fix it and leave them out of it.

They did the same thing to a motorcycle my brother had 2-3 years ago
