On collision claims for sure, but are you sure that is the case on a comprehensive claim?

Yes, only if the deer is moving and not of the genus lawn ornament.

Maybe, "we the people" should start suing the a_s off of these local community officials. It may result in a better return than diminished value claims. I go to town meetings and these "tree huggers" make me sick. They care more about the animals than residents, children or the property damage these tick carrying animals cause to human beings, cars and landscaping.

Yes, if the deer has insurance coverage. We know a thing or two, because we've seen a thing or two.
I personally would never lie to a prospective buyer. All I am suggesting is that the question of whether a car has been in an accident is not always asked or known by the seller (ie.. trade in). I agree on further review that 10K would be too high to pay out of pocket, but let's say the repair could be done for $3000 without the inflated insurance quotes or unnecessary replacement parts, yet the diminished value for a poor Carfax is $10K. Do the economics, be honest, of course, but choose the path that results in the best financial situation for yourself.

Another vote for Cavallo's. I've always contacted Steve at the Newtown Square location.

Damned deer. Definitely need some thinning out (or more). But at least not as risky as moose.

Wonder how the insurance industry got that written into law.

By making it clear rates would be lower.

I hit a moose on the road between Anchorage and Seward back in my college days in my VW Rabbit. Ripped the top of the car back. I happened to duck when it hit and I believe it saved my life. When it was all over I straightened up and hit the back of my head on the crumpled roof. Even now in low light days, mail boxes and stuff on the side of the highway look like moose coming onto the road.

Another vote for Cavellos -they have two shops, both are Porsche certified and CJ is at the West Chester location - have used them for years, exceptional work.

Karosseri is not what it was...

Definitely, specially if the buck did not use its dedicated crosswalk.

Wow--glad you survived.

Those things scared the crap out of me: nearly invisible in dusk/dark conditions, oblivious to cars, and built like a big steer on stilts. On a grey, rainy day I almost got one with my 3/4 ton Suburban near Sutton. Panic stop from 70 to 0 left about 5 feet between my bumper and the moose, who never flinched.
