Buck me!

Postby smj999smj » Sun Dec 12, 2021 11:38 pm

So, driving home around 10pm last week when a buck crossed in front of me, tagging my right corner. Now, i wait to hear if the insurance company will total it or not?

Doesn't look like he hurt much besides the fender and skirt, is there any visible damage to the frame or radiator support? Even if there is, the crazy used car prices right now will probably save it from totaling. They usually go by 50% of trade-in book value, and that's a pretty ride that probably has a very decent book.

That sucks. Hope insurance covers this!

But, it doesn't look structural? Bumper skirt and repaint (if insurance balks) should be reasonable.

I literally had the same incident (damage, not a buck) and lucked out getting the skin and fender online for <$300..if this the extent.

Good luck!

Glad you're okay and hope you got some veal out of it.

Maybe some slight frame damage there?
