My door got hit with a ball hitch last August. Got a used door paint it balck and that was 1300 bucks. So for all that im saying 3-4k+ unless u get on ebay and find the parts in blue. The insurance company is gonna total it i feel the thing about these cars the value isnt high so any real damage like that get totaled. I hope im wrong but it depends on the company. Sorry man i fear deer every night lol i live where this 1 road is pitch black for 5 miles deer love it ive dodge about 3 super close calls in the few years.

Yaaaaa more of a reason to buy a corvette lol

Thanks man. I've been pretty lucky. I've lived in the country all my life and never hit anything. Just wish I hit this deer with my winter beater!!! I hope it looks like factory again when it's done. That's my biggest concern.

1300 for a door?? dayum....prices vary per area, obviously.

All I have to deal with here are rabbits, coyotes and sometimes dogs. It would be the end of the world if something like that happened to staged car lol

Tell me about it was a used door too from lkq A+ but still it cost a lot these days cuz of the paint but it was perfect so i was cool.

I have a lot of deer around where I live as well.

They are out in full force now that it's fall. I see dead ones on the side of the road daily.

Buy oem panels and such, go to a good body shop, and she should look good as new.

Ya you don't wanna copy my setup. I was looking forward to having a run next year vs the 256

Fixed

If you go lnf pick up a sky or solstice! Rwd ftw

Seriously had this thought fly into my mind last few months but a second car is more valuable ATM

Well it's not over yet lol.


I agree! Good call! My Balt is my summer car anyways. A sky or solstice would be so much fun with 500whp haha. The only thing I hate is convertible. Would need a hard top kit.

RWD FTW indeed



Back on topic, I don't think many people in here have had professional body and paint work done judging by the prices people seem to be tossing out . Not to mention, he isn't going to want a $500 paint job either . My guess is this is going to be a $4k or more repair bill.

Good Jon and I may make our way there hopefully next year

Me too they had a coupe but it's so rare and expensive

Well I'll tell you that at almost 400 whp it's a lot of fun. The aftermarket hard tops are $1-1.5k so it's not improbable.

Devin86

The guys insurance that hit me paid. I literally had to chase him down to get his info I didn't want to deal with the cops.So me and my buddy had to jump in my car chase him down cop stop his ass down this street by pulling sides ways infront and then not so nicely asking for his info. Dumb ppl i tell ya lol

By no means it's going to be 500, I'm sure it will hit the 4k easy. I'm saying in mexico for me it's a 10 minute drive and I'm at Mexico I've seen it done so many times so im well familiar with it.

Deer suck. I got really lucky I almost hit one real bad not too long after I got my car. Thanks to the brembos I just bumped it. Good luck

Haven07

Good thing is the cars aren't terribly expensive.... Just looking in my area think the most expensive one was like 16k but had like 22k miles on it. But good luck finding a manual one sooo many come automatic.

Or you can get a high mileage 2.4 and build a forged turbo motor for it. I've seen those as low as 5-7k

I think if I must get a new summer car I'm gonna step away from the 4 bangers. I'm 32, it's time for a 32 year old type car lmao

If a person really wanted to make one ***** to the wall, short of finding one with an already grenaded engine for cheap, their best bet would be to get a high mileage 2.4 just like you said. The main differences between the 2.4 and gxp/redline is the engine, rear diff gearing, coilovers, front fascia, and a couple of badges.
