I already posted this in the accident thread, but I had a question about cost to repair cars. I have an 2003 lancer OZ, and just got ran into by a deer.... see https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...&page=81&pp=15 .... anyways, I was wondering, there is a good list of damage on the car, some interrior, lots of exterrior, anyone got any idea how much it would cost to fix it? here is a quick list of things I know that are broken.

front windows, drivers side window, front fender (bent to hell, drivers side door (a huge *** crinkle in the front edge and all down the middle of the drivers side door, the read drivers side door is also dented, drivers side mirror trim and wires were all sheered off. rear quarter panel has 2 huge dents in it, back bumper is scratched pretty good, the drivers side a-pillar is broken and won't stay on all the way, hood is unalignged on the passenger side. This is all I can recall from what I saw last night and from the pictures I have, I am sure there is more that is wrong.

If any of you guys have had accidents like this and could give me an idea of what the insurance did or whatever I would be extremely greatful.

i'd say no more than 1.5k

 

that seems way too low, the labor and paint to get the front of my car repainted when it was sprayed with rocks was more than that, and it was just sanding and painting, no part replacement.

 

Wait, you got ran into by a deer or you ran into a deer?
Yes, that does seem a bit low... though I wouldn't know at all how much it would cost to fix it. It doesn't look that bad from the pics, I wouldn't say it would cost too much to fix.

 

well, the drivers door won't open, fender is pushed in about 4 in, the front door is wrinkled (cant really see it in the pics), the back door is wrippled all the way down, the rear quarter panel had a bunch of big *** dents and scuffs, the wing is scratched, the roof, trunk, and hood are dented, mirror is broken off, front and side windows have to be replaced. side skirts are also scratched to hell.

the deer hit me, hence the front of my car being fine and the top and side being all messed up.

 

I own/operate a shop. We don't do collision repair, but i used to. You're looking at a couple gs EASY. Prolly in the neighborhood of like 4,000. The whole driver side and hood, trunk need to be either repainted or blended. new window. tons of minor body work. Repairing body lines. Doors SUCK to fix. Sometimes the door skin needs to be replaced. Anyway, not to down your hopes. If you lived closer I'd be happy to help. If you need OEM parts, lemme know, I can get you some SWEET deals and I can dropship! PM me if I can be of any help! Best of luck either way bro!

 

thanks man, lukily I have full coverage haha, so I only have to pay $500. just trying to get an idea of what I may be looking at. I've seen cars with about the same damage being totalled so I am looking to see if it is something that may be decided on my car or not. no really sure. would be nice but would suck too, cars are just never the same after accidents ya know.

 

I hope that deer gets what he desevers! bastard! reuined a perfecly good car

 

let me put it this way, when i hit my first deer, the hood had 2 be replaced, radiator, and a couple of other things but nothing major...~$3500

 

final total was..... $4678.... thats alot!

 

ouch 4600
