Wow, it doesn't look that bad to be salvaged.

Did Tony buy this RAV4 EV? I can see Tony driving a 80kWh, 4wd, 20kw charging, JdeMO, RAV4 EV, soon.

That's definitely on my radar, but I'm too busy for these "fluff" projects!!!

Seem like a bad deal. RAV 4 Ev body repair are very expensive compared to ice, I have seen a RAV EV with similar damage cost $16,000 to repair, the headlight alone cost about $1,000 for ev while ice cost $200. The normally priced parts are the common parts between ev and ice, ev alone parts are very expensive. Considering it’s a salvage title the resale value should be much lower than regular title cars.
