Deer hit the front end... repair cost?

[Rudylake]

Hit a deer this week. Front left bumper cracked, headlight smashed, light bar cracked, hood dented in, left front quarter panel bent and pushed back so drivers door won't open, and no airbags went off. Waiting to see what the repair estimate will be. Upon hitting the deer on the front left there were no sensors that went off with the R1S and no triggering of the incident camera to start recording. Seems odd that the vehicle doesn't detect a collision with a 100 lbs animal, and record it as an incident. Fortunately, I did hit the dash record button and caught the footage of the deer sliding down the road.

Any guessing on repair cost??

100lb? And I thought fishermen exaggerated...

I’m sorry about your truck. I was hoping that the light bar would have been more effective in keeping the deer away.

Deer in the midwest are a lot bigger than the PNW.

Sorry, I thought he meant hanging weight after he bought a tag and took it home.

Are you saying you totaled your truck hitting a 100lb fish?

The halibut off Port Angeles can get HUGE!

Without pics of the vehicle it would be hard to give you a good idea. Your lucky in that everything on the front end is bolt on.. So that lowers the repair bill a bit.

Hard to say without pictures. I would guess 3-4 k for lights alone, another $1500 for the fender for a start

 

[Hillbilly]

Infinity dollars.

After seeing other repair costs, this will easily be $Gazillion Billions to fix.

The Insurance company will probably total the vehicle and you'll have an opportunity to get a updated R1

In all seriousness, sorry to hear.
