Need Help
So we've only had our Cherokee Sport for a couple months when my son had an accident. He was t-boned while turning left through an intersection. The other car hit inbetween the front and rear tires, smashing in both doors. The unibody post between the doors is pushed in and the unibody below the doors is crushed inward. We went to a local body shop and they just shook their head and said sell it for scrap.
Is the vehicle truly totaled? Both passenger side doors need to be replaced, but can the unibody be repaired good enough for it to be functional?

if the frame, or in this case unibody, is damaged then in most if not all states the vehicle is declared totaled. be prepared to have to sit on the car for a while if your going to part it out yourself... hope your kid is ok! good thing jeeps are rugged.
