Damage severitysevere (52/100)

Deal score (proprietary)

18Risky deal

Score 18/100: cheaper-than-peer asks lift the read unless mileage rank or loss index erodes the cushion.

Modeled price outlook

Peer pricing is too thin here to publish a modeled resale midpoint—expand the make/model year band or wait for more indexed asks.

Repair budget heuristic

$18,000 – $48,000indicative USD band

Keyword + severity blend suggests a provisional $18,000–$48,000 repair envelope—body shops can deviate 2× if hidden structure or module counts appear on teardown.

Illustrative range from auction loss text, not a quote. Hidden electrical, suspension, or airbag work can exceed the upper band.
