Front-end collision damage to a 2018 Range Sport: the bumper is gone, both headlamps are broken, the cooling pack is hanging out and the fender is damaged. The engine bay (photo 8) looks intact, and the rear and sides look straight. This estimate cannot see the cabin or airbag status, the steering wheel, the radar and camera sensors, hidden structure behind the front panel, or whether the car starts, since the notes say nothing about this.
Each repair’s “used” figure is the middle of its range. Fees, transport and licensing are in the box above, not here. An AI model’s reading of photos is not an inspection — view the car before you bid.
