Well if its a proper repair,not just phil and lofty doin it in the arches,then its going to be a BIG bill!!!!!

We scraped a 52plate focus tuesday,and all it needed was a bumper,tailgate,back panles,and a litle pull,Mr insurance,SCRAP!!!!

Its easily repairable,but insurance companys dont wanna know no more,and thats loosin ME money!!!!

You can never really tell the full extent of the damage until its stripped and/or inspected really. If it is wrote off though, id ask to buy the salvage back and repair it and have some ŁŁŁ left over. Thats if its not bent in a bad way that is.

I think it will be written off the quarter panels on them is a big repair you have to take the roof off ect the panel aint cheap either.Parts for that alone from a dealership would be expensive..I work for a dealership i know the price of parts
