I got rear ended in October when a driver fell asleep and hit me in the back on the freeway. The other driver's insurance totalled my '97 Explorer. The most of the damage is on the rear bumper area, that is bent down but frame looks okay. The driver side quarter panel moulding popped open. The estimate of repair upon visual inspection is over $3100.
The vehicle that hit me is Honda Civic that is also totalled with the front end crushed and airbags deployed. So the other driver's insurance offered me money to surrender my Explorer or give me a bit less money if I keep it. It is still drivable but I wouldn't want to pay more to fix it and the body shop told me that most parts is discontinued. I probably will take the money by surrendering the Explorer and I hope to look for an upgrade to a newer ones.
I'm ok so is the other driver... there's no injuries.
