Well...this happened...

Someone decided they needed to turn left out of a gas station without looking first.
His Jeep Compass is toast. I'm wondering if insurance will total my expo though... 230k, but in pristine condition. Freaking drivers.

Well.....that sucks.....what a beautiful expedition too!!!!!!!!! Sorry that happened and hoping that the insurance company won't total it.

They gave me $10,000 to repair a 2008 with 130K miles on it.

That sucks. I'll bet if there is frame damage they total it. If its cosmetic or bolt on parts they might fix it.

Had a motorcycle 2 years ago take out my front end while my truck was parked legally in front of my house. 4500.00 worth of damage, insurance paid for it. Unfortunately the motorcyclist didn't have insurance, so I was just out my deductible. He knocked the alignment out a ton.

My exact thoughts…

Did you have a dashcam? If not, this is why you need one.

Yeah, All of my cars have Dash Cams in them. You can get a decent one for around $100 or less. Just makes sense now. Because you never know when you will need that witness.

it's not the cost of repair that will total it. It's the $6k rental bill you'll run up while waiting for all the damn parts to come in 5 months later.

This is the TRUTH. I made the guy's insurance company rent me a truck, since I lost my ability to tow my kid's HS band trailer.
They claim they're going to fix it. I honestly don't think frame is bent. We will see.
I added up receipts of the work I've had done on it in the last 2.5 years. Freaking $6800, including phasers/timing chain job done. I opted to fix instead of trying to afford a new one, so my expy was set to go another 100-200k.
Believe me...I will go to battle to recoup those repair costs (if they total it), I have detailed receipts.
