Welp, I had some young kid run into the back of me. His insurance company says my car is a "total loss" declaring the repairs to cost more than 75% of its value. So that's that.
However, they did give me about what I thought I could sell the car for so it worked out. I pick up my new (to me) F-Pace this weekend
Ouch! It doesn't take much to become a "write off" with modern Jaguars.
As you don't mention any injuries you and the other driver must both be OK. Good to hear and even better you come out of an insurance claim as a happy winner.
That doesn't look that bad. Rear trunk deck, bumper cover, maybe the bumper brackets (maybe need to be weleded, have not looked at these )
How much to buy it back from insurance? Could be a decent project. Car-part has the trunk lid in silver at 300 and full bumper assembly at 500 (cover valence and supports) Low miles like yours shoudl bring about 8-10 G with salvage title. Insuracne buy-back will probably be about 3K
That certainly doesn't look like a "total" to me. A little over 3 years ago, my wife and I went through this, with our 12,000 mile 2012 XJ-L. My wife was stopped at a red light, when she got blasted from behind, and pushed into the ca in front of her. Just from looking at your car, vs. her car, to me, your car got just a bit more that a "love tap". The rear of hers was crushed pretty good, the trunk wouldn't even close, the bumper was flattened, and even the RH muffler was stove in. The rear end damage on her car was initially pegged at $18,000
