My wife and daughter were in a wreck at a 3 way stop where the other driver didn't stop and pulled out in front of them. The other car was a 2024 Mercedes GLE53 AMG.

2019 Expedition

Based on a similar experience last December (but with a deer), I doubt there's any way this is under $10,000. I'll go with $11,000 thinking there might be less damage on yours.

Here was mine at almost $13,000: https://texags.com/forums/46/topics/3519266

The grille and headlight along with the stupid radiator shutters get you to 5k in parts already. You may be able to avoid the headlight.

Dang. Based on the photos, I feel like ours looks worse than yours.

It wasn't punctured but it was bent. They replaced it. Radiator was like $150. The plastic Radiator shutters and motor were like $1000.

Might be off but that's all from memory. Part prices were absolutely ridiculous.

Ah ok. Our radiator isn't punctured either, but there are some broken fins.

Ford headlights? Well over $3k just for both new headlamps, parts only

Total ~$13k

For everyone guessing less than $10k, here is what $8k (stealership) in damage on a similar vehicle looks like these days.

I'm going with ~$15k.

If it is anything like what we are currently dealing with, I would say much higher than any of these guesses. Mine is at the body shop now with a $97,000 estimate!!!!! Do what?! Brand new, 2024 Navigator that was driven home and to the body shop.

I hope they're okay. I was at a three-way stop this morning when the car to my left went on their turn and a dumb ***** in a beat up truck behind him drove through the intersection behind him. On one hand I was pissed because I was next to go and could have hit her. Then I realized that life must be incredibly difficult when you're that stupid and watched her drive off.

Thankfully, they were not hurt. Glad you avoided the wreck. What you experienced sounds very similar to what happened to my wife and daughter.

This ridiculous crap is why our insurance is so high.
