Analysis report

This 2018 Ford Focus ST carries a branded salvage-rebuilt title following a severe accident in Missouri where it ran off the road and struck multiple objects, resulting in extensive undercarriage damage and airbag deployment. The vehicle has been through four owners across Missouri, Indiana, and Illinois, with its most recent ownership period ending after being declared a total loss for the second time in 2026 following an additional collision. While there are 11 service records including significant mechanical repairs like a rack and pinion replacement and new tires/brakes at Riecher's Tire & Auto, the history of structural damage and multiple title changes is critical. Reviewing the full report is essential before buying, bidding on, or financing this vehicle to understand how the extensive accident history and repeated total loss events may impact its safety and market value.

AI Analysis
Get an opinion: ChatGPT
Expert Conclusion 4/10
Repair Complexity: High
Risk of Hidden Damage: High

The vehicle shows signs of both front-end and side impact. The primary concern is whether the front rail remains straight and if the B-pillar/door structure can be restored to factory safety standards.

Advantages
Insuranceer seller provides a high level of transparency regarding the damage.
Low mileage (70,846) for this specific model/engine configuration.
Vehicle is equipped with performance-oriented aesthetics and features.
Disadvantages
Frontal impact suggests potential radiator or cooling system compromise.
Structural deformation on the driver's side door frame indicates a complex structural repair.
Windshield damage may indicate high force during the collision event.
Proceed with Caution

While being an insurance sale is a major plus for title clarity, the combination of front-end impact and structural deformation on the driver's side makes this a high-risk project. The repair cost ($11,860) exceeds the estimated market value ($10,197), suggesting that unless purchased at a significant discount below market average, it may not be profitable for retail resale.

Airbags: Not Visible Glass: Intact Suspension damage
Damage
Moderate Hood — Significant buckling and deformation on the front passenger side. Impact has pushed the hood upward.
Moderate Front Bumper / Grille Assembly — Visible misalignment and cracking of the bumper cover; internal supports may be compromised due to front-end impact.
Moderate Front Passenger Fender — Panel is buckled near the A-pillar and hood line; requires replacement or significant pulling/alignment.
Minor Windshield — Visible cracking on the passenger side, likely from impact force transmitted through the A-pillar area.
Severe Driver Side B-Pillar / Door Frame — Structural deformation visible on the lower door frame and rear quarter panel seam. Potential for compromised structural integrity of the cabin cage.
