salprint Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I was driving on some backroad doing about 40-45 and this small deer came out of the woods right in front of me. I swerved and caught it with the right front bumper. Looked in my mirror and saw it kinda limping back into the woods...its probably in worse shape than my C-Max is. A small crack in the plastic on the side and its pushed up a little. No metal damage or mechanical damage. A lot of scratches and a lot of deer hair.Its probably less than my $500 deductible, but then again...with the price of things and the painting and all...it may be more.

Riddley Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 So sorry this happened to you salprint. I am sure all of the obsessives in the group (I count myself as one) will have a slightly sick feeling when reading about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelM Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 @salprint, not to be a downer but that is almost an exact description of my deer hit and it ran my insurance $2800. Cracked bumper fascia with no other apparent dents. Broken stuff (plastic brackets under the fender). Mine was drivers side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salprint Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Thanks everyone....I don't know about the deer...it ran back into the woods and I wasn't about to go check on it. Michael, I think you're right...the cracked bumper is the whole front of the car...so its gotta be expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
