Totaled gen 3 montero. :(

[jasonsuperb]

Thanks for all the info and advice everyone. The adjust came yesterday and said the repair cost would be 15k. So clearly it is a total loss. I am waiting on a phone call to tell me what they are offering as a payout. Then I'll probably try fighting for a higher amount unless their offer covers all my costs. I'm also going to try to buy it back if it's cheap.

Good luck! Let us know what they offer for settlement on the vehicle and what it would cost to buy it back.

Ok where the hell are the AZ guys????? They would say just bob the back of that sucker and turn it into a trugy :sombrero:

I had this happen 2 years ago, but my '01 got in a fight with some ice and flipped into a ditch. Glad there were no injuries. Talk with your insurance about the agreed price before accepting. Mine was only worth $800 in trade-in, but insurance valued at $5500. I paid off what little was left on a loan and used the rest as down payment for my current '05. I will say that these beasts can definitely withstand hard hits without injuring occupants. Mine rolled over the roof twice before finally stopping. As much fun as a carnival ride, but maybe a little safer.

I've actually been debating how to do this I'm pretty sure it still drives fine. Or maybe see if a frame shop can straighten it enough that I can just replace the rear tailgate.

Anyone interested in this as a parts car or to fix it up? It still runs and drives. Trying to decide whether to keep it or let the insurance company salvage it. 89k on it.

Assume you are looking to dump the whole thing and not part it yourself? What would be the $$ damage to the buyer? Feel free to PM me.

 

[jasonsuperb]

I'm looking to sell whole. I don't have the ability to pull engine and tranny which I know are valuable. So parting doesn't really make sense. I pmd you @plh

It cracked, but never broke. I think the angle between the roof and nose kept it from hitting fully. Only broken window was the rearmost one on the passenger side. Also it is quite interesting to watch pavement come up to meet the glass, but I don't recommend it.

If someone buys this to part out, I would like to buy the Right Brake Light Assembly if it is not cracked.
