Deer - Toyota Yaris Forums

Dans08 · 12-12-2009, 12:02 AM

17K miles not a scratch on it until this.

This is what happens when deer are in rut. Was driving along at 45 mph, and out of nowhere BLAM into the quarter panel. So she is at the body shop now getting a new quarter panel, and quarter glass. WATCH FOR DEER!!!

wow, wtf is that?!!!

a tiny little deer sure can cause a lot of damage to a car.

hope they fix'r up real good for you.

Did you kill it

, i hope so , one way to fill the freezer up with tenderized Venison

.
Sorry to see the damage to your yaris Though

IllusionX · 12-12-2009, 11:04 AM

holy shit...

i don't like rear quarter damage... They either fix it, pull it back up and bondo lots, or cut it out and solder a new quarter panel to it.

I did not get the deer. I had my 12 gauge with me, but could not take a shot because it was in a residential neighborhood. I approached it, and was going to stand on its throat to suffocate it, but it limped off into the woods. I took it to a body shop we deal with at work. They do exellent work. It is getting a new quarter panel, I hope it turns out good.

I would not worry. It will look and be as good as new.
Body shops deal with this kind of damage routienly

Personally, I would rather have the kind of relatively minor rear quarter damage that you have as opposed to hitting a dear head on

bronsin · 12-12-2009, 12:42 PM

Better that than through the windshield.

I hit a deer last April and it was about $1800 to get fixed, so I know your pain. Mine was hit in the front pass. fender, door and back quarter panel.

sucks for your car, but you cant be too mad at a deer.

My sister lives in the mountains by a road they nicked named Hamburger Alley. It is best to go 10 under the speed limit at night time.

specialeducator · 12-12-2009, 07:19 PM

that sucks

yaris-me · 12-13-2009, 02:10 AM

Two years ago, I traveled to Washington state and going inland from the coast in a very wooded area about a mile ahead I saw a big SUV jam on the brakes and swerve. It drove on and then pulled over. A dually construction pick up pulled over and as I approached I saw two men loading a dead deer onto the pick up. The SUV had one fender and the grill smashed in. It looked like a lot of damage. The winners were the guys who picked up the road kill!

Sorry about your accident.

Dans08 · 12-14-2009, 08:54 PM

Update: Went to the body shop today just to get an idea what the estimate was, and it hasn't been written yet. The lot at the body shop was full of cars, so it looks like they are very busy. Looks like it is going to be a few weeks...

Dans08 · 12-17-2009, 01:06 AM

Estimate is 2800. May look into trading it when I get it back... I like the new 5door Yaris. I hate the idea of having a car that has had bodywork done.

Maybe, maybe not.. It's possible to knock out a deer and it will seem dead. When it wakes up, you'll have a live deer in your vech and it will kick out all your windows and tear up your interior. Then bites you while you're trying to drive. Yes, it's happened before.
