Back at the end of January I had the misfortune to collide with a large roe deer on a country road in Dorset. The car was recovered the next day and taken to a body shop in Exeter. There was no damage to the bumper , grille, or lights, only the pop up hood had activated.
Just over a month later I have the car back, and when I picked it up I asked for a copy of the bill that my insurance company paid. The cost shocked me. I was expecting it to be in the £4 to £5k range after reading other posts on here, but it was way more than that at a total of £8304.30 with the VAT. The parts cost alone came to over £5k!
My car is a low mileage 2016 is300h Advance so the repair was authorised, but if it hasn't happened already I would expect an older high mileage example to be written off for this.
