**A Rare Opportunity to Acquire a Luxury Vehicle**

As I stood amidst the damage, I couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment and frustration. The P525 full-size HSC supercharge V8 SUV, which I had purchased new just a few years ago, was now left with a multitude of scratches and dents that would require significant repair work to fix. The impact had been severe, with the bumper sensors, electric tailgate, and even the door suffering considerable damage.

**Assessing the Damage**

Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that the damage was extensive, with multiple panels needing replacement. In fact, I counted six areas of the car where repairs would be necessary, including the front bumper and rear quarter panel. The cost of repairs alone was estimated to be in excess of $40,000, which was a significant burden for any owner.

**The Financial Reality**

As I took stock of the damage, I couldn't help but think about the financial implications of the repairs. With a vehicle that had only 25,000 miles on it, I had expected the repair costs to be relatively low. However, as the estimates began to roll in, it became clear that the costs would be much higher than initially anticipated. The reality was that this SUV was likely going to be totaled, and the financial hit would be significant.

**A Difficult Decision**

As I weighed my options, I couldn't help but feel a sense of uncertainty about what to do next. On one hand, I had bought the car new and had only recently started preparing it for sale. On the other hand, I knew that repairing such extensive damage would not only be costly but also time-consuming. The thought of spending several months fixing the car and then listing it for sale was daunting.

**Considering Alternative Options**

As I pondered my next move, I couldn't help but think about alternative options. Perhaps, I could look into purchasing another vehicle to replace this one? Or maybe, I could use this opportunity to acquire a donor vehicle that I could repair and sell. The possibility of turning the damaged SUV into a manor car or other unique project was also appealing.

**The Purchase Price**

Assuming that the SUV would indeed be totaled, I began to wonder about the purchase price. Based on my research, it seemed likely that the value of the vehicle would be significantly lower than its original retail price. In this case, I had purchased the car new for $130,000, and after accounting for depreciation over 25,000 miles, the estimated value was around $65,000.

**The Buyback Opportunity**

As I weighed my options, I began to consider the possibility of purchasing the vehicle back from the insurance company. Assuming that the damage was indeed extensive enough to render the car unsellable, it seemed likely that the buyback price would be reasonable, possibly in the range of $15,000 to $20,000.

**The Future of the Vehicle**

Ultimately, the decision about what to do with the damaged SUV rested with me. While I had initially planned to sell the car, the thought of repairing such extensive damage was overwhelming. As I pondered my next move, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and uncertainty about the future of this luxury vehicle.

**Conclusion**

As I stood amidst the wreckage, I knew that I had several options to consider. Whether or not I would purchase the vehicle back from the insurance company, use it as a donor car for another project, or simply let it go, only time would tell. One thing was certain, however: this luxury SUV would no longer be part of my collection, and its fate was all but sealed.

what's up guys probably of your favorite videos that I make are the ones that start here at crocco's Collision that means something happened and yes something did happen I got a phone call from one of my customers and they stated that the Range Rover they were driving was totaled and I was like well all right let's uh let's see how this is going to play out and here I am at crocos collision and I'm going to show you what it looks like so there she is it's a 2021 fullsize hsse p525 Range Rover and I know from initial viewing uh it doesn't look so bad but what did happen was this was the fourth car of five cars and none of the other cars are here but the fourth car of five cars in a collision with a big truck also not that truck using truck for illustrative purposes only guy fell asleep with the at the truck and then essentially smashed into a whole line of cars and that is the story that was related to me and it does make sense when you start looking at the car because you could see there's damage in the front here from impacting another vehicle and this is pretty much the best side of it you make your way around back it was rear ended obviously and you could see how pushed in you've got the quarter and even if you can see the quarter panel is pushed in here the door Gap here is now nonexistent on the driver side that could be a problem that could mean there's a little bit of frame push here and that will have to be pulled out here is where the uh the brunt of the impact was and let me show you the other side as well this side is worse than the other side so you've got damage on both sides you've got damage full rear and here you're looking at a bumper with the bumper sensors all that stuff you have the two-part electric tailgate and the one thing I could promise use none of this stuff is cheap unfortunately so that's why I may be leaning towards the fact that this may be totaled and uh the tail lights you got the wheel damage over here you got this whole side even the door so you've got one two three just say that's four five on the other side and then the front bumper you're looking at six panels on this car six areas of this car that are going to be needing replacement uh or although this bumper may be repairable but even when you start adding it up you got to realize it's $130,000 SUV I bought it new um it's a p525 full size HSC supercharge V8 all that good stuff and it's got 25,000 Mi on it so I was in the process of getting ready to sell it now it looks like I don't really have a choice I guess the choice that I'm facing now is whether or not I want to buy it back and this is something that it's likely going to be totaled cuz just say it's worth 6 5 or 70 grand uh retail I'm going to be looking at at least 40 $45,000 in repair cost on this if if I have any sort of indication from just looking at it cuz we haven't even taken the car apart yet to to identify it but even when you look on the interior here like even the seat broke come on door you stay open thank you and you're like oh whatever just a quarter panel here or there this panel there's no seam here so this whole piece all the way down there see this whole thing is all one piece so it's going to have to be cut and replaced or I don't know it's it's just going to be a much more detailed and in-depth job than I care to even begin to tell you that's just a lot of extra labor car vehicle wise this thing is gorgeous like I I actually for 25,000 Mi 2021 it's a great vehicle just the fact that it's appreciated so much makes it a great purchase but it shows almost no wear that's what's so great about these cars is that quality-wise they're incredible and if you look at it like I would rock this as a daily I mean I I have the Tesla but this is clearly much more luxurious now just say the thing is worth 65 or 70 and it's totaled I can imagine the buyback is going to be a very reasonable amount of money maybe 15 10 or 15 grand and at that point in time who knows maybe you go straight up like buy it back buy it back and turn it into a manery car or something like that something that looks cool if that's your thing I mean this is a perfect donor car because I think mechanically there's nothing really wrong with it visually there's a hell of a lot wrong with it but it does doesn't need a windshield doesn't need any windows or glass except for the rear but it's it's a good enough hit that I think this thing is going to be totaled it's whether or not I figure out what to do with it is the question now for a company I wouldn't spend the time to fix it and repair it I would just get another one personally though if I could get over some uh the stuff that's going on back here I may be um I may be the new owner of our Range Rover we're going to find out if you're interested in it then shoot me a message uh if I do get an opportunity to buy it back if it is totaled or even if they just say like it's not total and somebody wants to buy it I
