Sad to see your Ex is most likely totaled. Glad to see your wife was alright. That is part of the reason why we drive these tanks.

Sorry to hear about this, Tyler. Glad to hear all occupants were unscathed.
Best of luck in your endeavors with the insurance company and possible replacement.

Glad everyone is safe, I wouldn't bet that it's totaled though. To me the damage doesn't look that bad. But always hard to tell from an internet pic.

Good to hear nobody was injured. Its sad to see such a nice rust free EX go by way of salvage. I will mourn the solid rockers and doors.

Another EX that sacrificed itself to make sure everyone made it home.

I know our vehicles are getting old and don't have the latest technology and engineering, but they sure do seem to hold up pretty good.

Good to hear everyone is safe

Looks like its time to take the front of a newer super and bolt it onto your ex. If the insurance co wants to total it, buy it back for a project vehicle. Maybe a little over $3,000 in parts.

Sorry to hear but at least everyone yada yada.

I'm going to say it's totaled. The tow hooks on front don't look level and those are bolted to the frame.

Buy it back and sell the parts. Those second row captains chairs are rare as hens teeth.

Plus some other things are equally rare:

rear liftgate
barn doors
rear vent windows
side vent motors
3rd row seat for a limited
rear headliner with A/C vents (I know of 2 threads where folks want to retrofit rear A/C)
rear A/c unit
3rd row seat belts
2nd row seat belts
