This 2023 RAM 1500 Longhorn presents with severe front-end damage, including significant structural deformation and deployed driver and passenger airbags. While listed as 'RUNS AND DRIVES', the extent of damage and airbag deployment makes actual drivability highly questionable without extensive repairs. A major concern is the extremely high mileage of 238,510 km (approx. 148,235 miles) for a 2023 model, which is highly unusual and suggests heavy commercial use or a potential discrepancy. The vehicle was previously listed by an insurance company and did not sell at a final bid of $9,300, indicating the current buy-now price of $16,250 might be optimistic given the damage. With an estimated market value of $72,000, there's a substantial potential margin if repairs are executed efficiently, but the high mileage and severe damage introduce considerable risk.
Primary damage
FRONT END
Title
SALVAGE TITLE
Damage visible
The vehicle sustained heavy front-end impact damage. The hood is severely buckled, creased, and pushed upwards. The front bumper cover and grille are completely missing. Both left and right headlight assemblies are missing or destroyed. The left front fender is heavily crumpled and pushed back, while the right front fender shows significant creasing and damage near the hood line. Visible behind the missing front components, the radiator support structure is severely bent and crushed, indicating significant structural damage. The radiator, AC condenser, and intercooler are all visibly damaged and pushed back. The left and right front frame horns/subframe components appear bent and crushed. Inside, both the driver's steering wheel airbag and the passenger dashboard airbag are deployed. The engine bay is dirty, and there's a visible fluid residue under the engine, suggesting a possible leak. The rest of the exterior (sides, rear) and interior (rear seats, general cabin condition) appear to be in good visual condition, apart from the airbag deployment.
Overall condition
The overall visual condition of the vehicle is poor due to the severe front-end collision damage. The interior, aside from the deployed airbags, appears relatively clean and well-maintained. The engine bay is dusty and dirty, consistent with exposure after the impact. The tires appear to have decent tread. The high mileage is confirmed by the odometer photo.
Repair recommendations
Given the extensive front-end structural damage and deployed airbags, a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a qualified body shop is highly recommended to assess the full extent of frame damage and ensure all safety systems can be properly restored. The 'RUNS AND DRIVES' status should be verified, but even if it starts, it's not safe to operate. All cooling system components, including the radiator, condenser, and intercooler, will require replacement. The high mileage for a 2023 model should be investigated further for its history and impact on long-term reliability.
