I rear ended a minivan early 05 when the traffic stopped and I didn't (about 35 MPH). "Killed" the minivan (towed away and totaled) then drove my X to Indianapolis and back the next day. I had a front brush guard on it and it had to be replaced as well as both fog lights, hood and one or two fenders (about $3500 all total) but the X faired well. Didn't even blow the air bags which surprised me. Sorry, no pics.

Are they serious? The back third of the roof is bent down on the Driver's side!
"...This is a easy repairable, with a clean title Origanly purchased to repair and sell for a great profit..."
Until they figured out how much it would really cost to repair it themselves.
20 Years ago you could get a good deal on a repairable. Not anymore. They used to take the wholesale value and subtract the repair estimate and that was the price they asked. Now they usually take wholesale value, subtract the cost of the parts only, then sell it for that price. So basically you are putting in all your time on it for free to have a vehicle that you've put enough money into to have bought one that wasn't damaged.
I've done a few repairables a few decades ago, but the industry has changed to the point where there isn't any profit in it unless you do a hack job.

I rememeber a few months ago I seen a guy on here with a roll over accident. The X was white. He said his wife and two children were inside. All was well with the family (most important), but the X took a good licking. Tons of dents and dings, but substatialy well built. Maybe he will see this and respond.

the sad fact is, if you roll an Excursion, Expedition, or Explorer, at any speed at all, that roof over your head will offer about as much protection as a well-starched bed sheet. I cant seem to find it just now, but when this discussion came up about a year ago, there was a site that had good high resolution photos of literally DOZENS of rolled Ford products of this type, and invariably, the roofs simply COLLAPSED down to the belt line. There's just no real structure in the upper body.

There are still deals out there, but they are as rare as the $1 government auction deals that you see advertised.
