Deer attacked my front end
Tuesday, February 21, 2006 5:48 PM
OK so a deer didnt attack my but I hit one tonight my hood is screwed badly, passanger fender scratched good and got a really good gouge from the antler in my passanger door, that is about 4 inches long by at least 1/4" and deep. Both headlight assemblies are screwed, and I dont know if this matters but is a 01 Z I am wondering what kind of estimate should I be expecting??

I deal with a lot of estimates in my line of work....I guess at between 1800-2000 dollars or so. But a lottttt of $$$$$$ for sure.

If there is radiator damage or damage to the A/C condenser, you may be looking at a total situation with your insurance company....that is if your estimate goes over 60-65% of the vehicle ACV(actual Cash Value)

Good Luck...................P>S> Get more that one estimate....Please!

I am hoping for a lot!!!! I planned on getting a new hood anyhow and the damaged door was scratced to hell from pheasant (attack) a couple of years ago so I am kind of excited at the prospects of getting some new stuff out of this!!!!!!

it shouldn't have teased it . j/k. if the estamsite is too high they may scrap the car. it is a cavalier. you hit a pole at 5 mph off the lot it's totaled.

hey now, mine has lasted through a deer and a tire having the tread seperate on the front and destroy the front passenger side, the only thing undamaged on my front end body wise, is the drivers side headlight
