After getting in a "fender-bender" from the ridiculous icy streets we had back on Mar 17, I finally got the van in for an estimate for repairs. Now I know why I see so many just driving around with broken cars.

$7.5K to replace rear hatch, a radar module, and related. 😳

We are just under the limit to total our 2014 van. If I knew I could find a similar vehicle at a good price, I'd definitely consider totaling. Thankful we aren't the ones liable, that we have the insurance. But yikes.

@rmflight oh wow. That's really bad. We were rear ended in our 13 van some years ago. Rear hatch, bumper, and some internal panels. I think the estimate was north of $9k. 🤯
@thatdnaguy the biggest issue here is that the hatch is damaged, and the backup radar got torn off. Over half the cost was parts.
@rmflight yeah that's a bad spot
