My parent's recently got hit in their X5. The damage total was $3300 or so; the adjuster said that $50 more and they would have totaled it out. I was shocked at the check and joked that I can just find them another X5 that has less accident repairs for $3000, and we'd have a parts car too. They didn't like that at all.

Our damage was due to needing a new fender, bumper and all the plastics related cause the bumper was torn off. I went at it with a tube of plastic epoxy and got a foglight. Total repair was $50. Didn't help that I found out it needed a water pump, CV axle, trans pan gasket, etc. when I was fixing the accident damage though.
