$3,000, just to put a number out there. Doors, wheels and bodywork beyond rear bumper seem ok

I'm thinking like 1200. Few hundred for wheel and bumper cover, then maybe a little actual body work and paint and whatever else you might get charged for.

Saw deer, dodged deer, stuffed into dirt embankment because gravel + heavy braking. Smashed up the front end, but no airbags or anything, and I was fine. Limped it the last mile home, had it towed the next day. Should be picking it up Monday or Tuesday, finally. It's been almost two weeks. :(

In the area of $3800 I'm betting. And four easy payments or....as Mitch Hedberg said....

"I would like to have a product that was available for three easy payments, and one fuckin' complicated payment! We ain't gonna tell you which payment it is, but one of these payments is gonna be a bitch. The mailman will get shot to death, the envelope will not seal, and the stamp will be in the wrong denomination; good luck, fucker! "
