40-50 pound deer:





I got a $200 deductible, all covered. I just want to know:

* What you think about the total cost to fix?

* List of parts?

Thanks in advance.

 

oh deer.. are you ok?

I'd say that's like 1000 bucks worth of damage in parts alone.

 

ditto, this is where ins comes to the rescue. That's easily over 1k worth of damage. I'd say around 2-3.

obv parts needed just looking, fender, bumper, headlight.

 

Oh man dang wild animals running out in the road..

 

how was the deer

 

I see what you did deer... At lear it wasn't reining

 

^ lol

 

Its probably 2-3k in damage, if you have an OEM insurance policy. If not probably about 1-1.5k.

 

damn deers... authorities fault for let them running and not getting them all in a single refugee. every single day there's a dead deer in rt 28 .. here in bridgewater... and thats just 8 miles i drive toward the community college... i wonder if there would be more ahead.

 

Thanks for the quick responses.

I'm fine, the deer was dead on impact, no suffering.

Yea, I will get an estimate tomorrow to let you know if anyone is interested.

Majority is cosmetic, I swear the car pulls a little to the left now, but might be my imagination.

The dent on the hood looks correctable by a little elbow grease. They will still probably paint the whole thing...

 

So... when will the deer jerky be ready?

 

If you were ever considering doing an 07-08 conversion, now would be the time. Glad to see you were not hurt.

RIP Bambi.

 

Haha, funny that you ask. Some guy stopped, asked if I just hit the deer and picked it up while I was looking over the damage/taking pictures. 'merica .

 

I'm getting a type-s front end out of my little mishap

 

I ha similar damage and it was 4k.

Just the headlight is about 600$ from the dealer. That's not including the igniter and ballast if I'm remembering correctly.

Definitely take the opportunity to go with 07-08 bumper... It's the same price!

 

you should have kept the deer.....gotten it processed into sausage, sold it and made some money.....

Should told the guy that picked it up....pay you $100 dollars (bucks) and he can have it!!

 

Ouch!! That sucks. Hopefully it's all cosmetic. Take a close look at the drivers door body gap down near the bottom, make sure it's even the whole way down, and be sure you take it to a reputable shop.

When I first got my CL-S in 2004, I hit a deer after 6 months of ownership. This guy must've been Bambi's Grandfather, or Great-Great Grandfather (13 points on the antlers), damage was over $8k, but both airbags deployed, essentially the whole front end got replaced. I cried for days.

Good luck!

 

that sucks man.. but atleast you hit bambi with your car, i hit bambi with my bike!

 

dang man, thats what im always paranoid about when im riding my R6. OP sorry about your accident, glad to hear your ok

 

another injured TL!!? OP sorry to see this. at least you're ok.

it's probably gonna run $2-3k (headlight (someone mentioned-$6-800, fender (repair/repaint-$almost $1k), bumper (new and paint-$700), hood (repair and repaint-$500)....add tax it starts to go up to $4k. if you're alignment is messed up....add that on, suspension parts?

love the fur left over in your headlight. stupid bambi. good luck with the repairs. it'll be good as new when you get your car back.

 

Sorry for off topic but what happened to you ? Just curious since it was a bike and not a car.

 

Sorry to see this, Scott.

 

Who is this imposter

 

Sorry about your car. Hope your ok as well. We have a bunch of deer here to and driving on the backroads can be interesting. We even have bears.

 

that sucks man. 2k i guess

 

we're actually taking over their land.. drivers should be more considerate.

sorry OP.. good thing ur deductible is only 200. And your alignment could have been thrown off when u hit Bambi

 

Sc0tt,
I would say that damage needs about 2-3k worth of repair. Sorry to hear about your accident. I have hit two deers...or should I say they have hit me twice in the past few years. Atleast you are ok. Good luck with everything.

 

Animal killers.

 

Deer are heavily overpopulated, no need to be considerate! Lol

 

Sorry about your accident.

Unrelated.....are your tires noisy? I had them on my last car and was happy with them but rumor has it they are noisy on our TL's.

 

Glad your okay Scott. Sucks about hitting the deer. I see a lot of them around my daughters place when I visit. But it's slow driving through there. Hope your repairs go well.....

Perhaps some of these are in order:

i was leaving my dads house at about 9 at night.. didnt even get a 1/4 mile away and the deer just came out right in front of me! i didnt even have time to roll off the throttle. hit at about 50-60mph, went down hard and slid down the road a good bit.





im glad i ALWAYS wear gear.

 

Not too bad actually. Not as quiet as my Nexens I use in summer and definitely not as loud as the snow tires I used to have. I will stick with this Good Years all season moving forward, even though they are $600 for 4...

 

I'd hate for you to be part of the chinese or indian government!

 

That was my second thought. The first was glad you're OK OP.

 

Estimate came back, getting everything required replaced/repainted:

$3,094.18

If anyone wants a more details breakdown let me know...

 

I'm glad that you're ok though.

 

Sorry to see, OP. Those creatures are so unpredictable...scary.

 

hope everything gets repaired smoothly!

 

Weird my friends car is in the shop for almost identical damage from a deer.
