That is exactly what I thought too, the other car was travelling way too fast to "dent" it. I was told there were special frame analysis machines, lasers etc. Looks like I know which shops to look out for now, especially the ones with high google reviews, you can pay to remove negative reviews...

update: So the second bodyshop I took it to which is JEEP MOPAR certified had identified that the frame is too damaged to fix. The first one said they could fix it, said the frame only had a dent. Looks like getting second opinions is worth it since the second shop declared it will be a write...

Was secretly hoping it would have been a write off so I could wait for the new 4xE Gladiator :)

Thanks for the great and helpful comments I appreciate and read all of them ! I heard how scary side impact collisions are, luckily the JEEP I purchased came with bigger tires and I think it may have been lifted, which is why the cab frame at the bottom is so heavily damaged. So it will look...

One from insurance appraiser and another in a body shop. It is a bit inconvenient to tow the car around city to shop around for estimates since each shop needs to take it apart to see. I took it to insurance approved shop though it would take a week for them to appraise it so I moved it to a...

Ouch so it looks like the body shop estimate came out and they will fix it since the ACV of these jeeps are way above even the MSRP brand new. I am just worried about frame damage, engine misalignment axle damage etc, the body shop says its fine but who knows its never the same after an impact...

Update from insurance, looks like I will be getting an offer? With used Jeep prices being so skyrocket high, wondering if I will be getting market value. Usually used prices are lower than MSRP but with the pandemic its reversed. Anyone have experience with it recently? Thanks ! After...

Yeah not sure how its working, been getting advice that if the price is too high they won't total it, so keep the price low as possible, not sure how that works either, market price? The car totally has COVID, it can't recover haha

To answer some of the questions, the other car was a ACURA TL, an older model 2000's. The other driver was definitely trying to make the red light, most likely over the speed limit and they couldn't stop since pavements were iced. I was just normally driving through the intersection when the...

what a tank, I am glad I was driving this

Thanks for the insights and warm welcome ! Based on the initial statement I provided to the claims office, they said it may be a total loss since it looks like frame damage and airbags deployed. They will follow up once an official appriaser goes to assess the damage. I am based on Alberta...

Hey guys, was happy to be a new gladiator owner, drove it twice and already had a red light runner come and t-bone it. Luckily no heavy injuries, if I was in any smaller car would have been worse. What do you all think, is it fixable or write off? Looks like frame damage.
