Bronco wreck after a month!

[Sethsquatch]

Just wanted to share my experience after having a minor accident yesterday.
Girl ran a red light and ended up having an offset head on collision with my wife, pretty slow speed. Caught the brunt on the tow hook.
Basically just a plastic trim piece around the hook and the grille. Pretty significant damage to the offender though. Nice to see they're pretty burly in an accident.
Hit me up with questions if you're curious!

Who needs crash bars when you have tow hooks?? Glad your family is okay.

Doesn't look like much happened to either vehicle, mostly plastic bits. Not what I'd call a wreck.

Glad everyone is ok. Seems too many people are staring at the Broncos and not paying attention to where they are driving! Maybe Ford shouldn’t have made them so good looking!

Apologies for mislabeling my thread..
I guess any collision with a 60k vehicle is a wreck in my book. Is fender bender more appropriate?
Thanks to everyone else who was glad my family is safe.
I am now pursuing insurance for depreciation, we'll see what happens on that end.

"Depreciation" because of that? Are you even going to claim this on insurance??

The bumper looks a little tweaked, and I'm not sure what is behind the grill there, but that could be a large support piece that was damaged. I assume you got her insurance information. I'd call and get the vehicle inspected by a body shop. Any parts will be tough to get right away but pricing could easily be over $500 if any part needs to get replaced due to paint costs.

I'd appreciate hearing back from you about the time line to get repair parts.

The other car ran a light and struck me, definitely going on her insurance. And definitely depreciation! If you had 2 identical Broncos, but one carfax said "front end collision", what kind of discount would you expect? That's what I'm due.

Definitely need to file on her insurance and have everything looked at as there may be damage you can't see. As far as getting anything for depreciation, good luck. Would be great, but I doubt you will get any traction on that.
