kempie Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 My wife hit a deer last night on M-66 @ I-96. Foggy night and the HID lights allowed her to see the deer soon enough to hit the brakes and do less damage. She was almost stopped. The deer got up and ran away. She was able to drive 20 miles home. The car at the body shop now. No estimate yet. So its a good time to get the front & rear valences painted body color. Gotta find something good about this.

feelin edgy Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Ouch, glad your wife was not hurt. Even that little bit of damage is going to be pricey at the body shop. What do you think? $3,000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kempie Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Got the estimate for about $5,100. plus whatever they will charge for painting the valance and rear black portion of the bumper body color. Thank goodness for 0 Deductible deer coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feelin edgy Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Ouch, even more than I thought it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Talionis Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 bummer... also bummer for the deer. actually, I have seen deer do much worse damage in the midwest. at lest she was able to keep control. I had a recent run in with a coyote. did the repair myself in the end with parts ordered from the dealer, but not nearly as bad as yours - except for the animal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
