Default I hit a deer...

5:00AM still dark out just got my coffee. I was going 55mph in the left lane going around a bend to the right... hit really hard never saw him and he was gone by the time the sheriff showed up...

2003 touring 63,XXX miles was immaculate

Maybe the deer wasn't a fan of plastidip?

Not totaled. I'm seeing maybe $1500 in used replacement parts. (Hood, headlight, fenders, door, mirror.) Maybe in 1000 in paint if the colors don't match. Ditch the plastidip next time around lol.

From the looks of it thats quite a bit of damage and with all the parts, paint and labor to repair it might be totalled. the 2003 models have a lower resell value than the later years so it doesn't take much to reach half the value of the car to deem it a total lost.

It would be worth buying back if they total it.

Has anyone done this? i guess i will find out more about the process if it comes to that, but what amount would i pay for it, or does that vary based on other things?
