Until fairly recently, you could bid on cars (in certain states) without any membership fees. But they just changed that model, and now in order to bid you have to buy a 'basic' membership which costs $59 per year.Anyone a member to this site? I'm curious on membership cost but don't want to give all my info to find out.
You can see the imprint of the frame at the license plate. The soft top is way buckled - Bronco got shorter.The frame looks bent by the crooked trailer hitch .
More likely it is owned by a Lawyer Heavy Leasing Company.Ahh sorry @survivormanca I had not seen your prior post and I only searched forum for 'salvage'.
You are right, the second one you posted looks a lot worse.
Here is link to that one for anybody interested, as found by Survivormanca: https://www.copart.com/lot/56956301/2021-ford-bronco-base-pa-philadelphia-east-sublot
Given the low damage to value ratio on these, I think what others have pointed out is probably accurate. It is less about the cost to fix them that has caused the insurance company to auction them, and more likely the difficulty in getting the parts to do the job.
Thank you! That seems to be totatlly resonable if you are looking for a beater.Until fairly recently, you could bid on cars (in certain states) without any membership fees. But they just changed that model, and now in order to bid you have to buy a 'basic' membership which costs $59 per year.
Nothing will fix the plastic side windows - plain matching twill might help - can't see out anyway.Could you imagine if that damage pulled the rear soft top sides tight?
Hard to say what hit him. It did also push in the tailgate and spare. Hard to say without the facts but it is a serious concern for sure. That hitch and frame should be super strong and cut into anything that hit it.If that's all it takes to total one, that is not a good thing. If the frame is that fragile what will years of off roading do to it. It probably is totaled. A dealer would buy it and sell it for a big profit. Frame tweeked and body mounts shifted. Now, the Bronco Sport that fell off Black bear pass, that's beyond totaled.
I am sure it should do well. Folding like that actually absorbs the energy. The only safety part that concerns me on the bronco is the roof. There is a reason almost every car that is a convertible has a structure over your head. There should be a cross bar reinforcing the roof and keeping rocks, trees jersey barriers, or anything that could crush your body under the car in the event of a roll over from happening. There is a serious intrusion risk. I am sure there will be some aftermarket bars.Wonder how good the Bronco will do when they start testing it for the five star safety ratings? Now that will be interesting
a hit to the rear on its own - reversing into a light pole - you are fully protected by the seat. It is well known that all airplanes should have passenger seats facing rear - like the cabin crew jump seats.I am not an expert on this but it does depend on from where you get hit and how much acceleration/deceleration results from it. A 15 mph head on collision will probably set off the front airbags, but 15 mph from the rear might not. The Supplemental Restraint System computers and sensors detect where the forces are coming from and deploys specific bags accordingly.
What are some of these you describeI am sure it should do well. Folding like that actually absorbs the energy. The only safety part that concerns me on the bronco is the roof.
