Damage looks wiered doesn´t it?
Just wonder what happened? Looks like it ran under something or anything fall of the Pat because the bumper seems to be ok.

Looks like a high speed roll over where the vehicle scraped to a stop on the highway.

Hm but roof rails and antenna seems to be fine. I guess they would be damaged too in a roll over or?

I'd guess low speed rollover, but I don't know how they pulled it off. It does look like they scraped to a stop with the hood and forward roof edge on the pavement, but I'd think a high speed flip would have done far more damage, if not involved multiple rolls. That looks like it just rolled onto its side, then the roof, and slid for a few feet (not many though).

The only major damage appears to be the roof. The rest of it would be pretty easy for any body shop to fix. The roof might not even be that bad, but I don't know if there are major structural members right where it is crimped.

that'll buff out with a little elbow grease.

Looks like it rolled to the right, and then onto the roof and hood. The weight of the engine and loss in momentum from the driver hitting the brakes caused the rear end to stay lifted in the air, the hood and front of the roof line skidding to a halt.

How cheap is it?

Rends, buy it and send me the side marker lights...they look intact. I was going to suggest the heated mirrors too but one didn't fair as well...better luck next time I guess.

Clearly it was attacked by velociraptors. You can see the claw marks on the hood. The roof must have been jumped on by a larger one trying to get at the driver through the front windshield. The damage to the sides was done as the driver ran into an embankment attempting to shake them off.

I would say they ran into an elephant that crossed the road in front. That's what would happen to me anyways. Looks like it was rolled at low speed. That's really difficult damage to fix. Probably have to cut and weld a new roof to go with the right rear quarter panel, new door skins, new hood & I'm sure there is damage under the hood. Probably a nasty stain on the driver's seat as well.

Haha the sad part about that reason is that it accounts for all the damage on the car. All the other reaons dont. Start a poll, and ill vote for the raptor option.

Well cheap for us here. It´s about 14000€ which means somewhat similar to your nondamaged US prices.

Looks like just some moderate trail damage.

Hm yes, slow speed roll over on a Trail. Sounds as the most likely reason for me yet.

That is some very unusual damage. My vote is that this guy's wife found out about some little lady he was keeping on the side and she got a little jealous. Maybe she got a little creative with a bat and sledgehammer?
