Found a VW indy close to our hotel. Going to take it over at 1300 and he is going to put it on the lift. We will see. I talked to insurance bubba and he said $250 deductible, have to file a claim…wait until it’s reviewed….wait for them to decide where I can take the car…..leave the car for several days more than likely. Yeah, no.  Only if there turns out to be substantial damage under there. AZBob Sent from Mail for Windows From: Andrew Strasfogel via MercedesSent: Wednesday, April 13, 2022 8:37 AMTo: Mercedes Discussion ListCc: Andrew StrasfogelSubject: Re: [MBZ] Interstate Gator Unless the deer was insured... On Wed, Apr 13, 2022 at 11:30 AM Allan Streib via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Did a quick search and I think you're right.

Did a quick search and I think you're right. And now that I think about it, I 
recall observing at one point that the insurance companies took the two 
accidents that are most likely to happen around here (collision with another 
car, and hitting a deer) and put them into separate coverage types, so you have 
to buy both.

Is road debris comprehensive or collision?
Vehicle contact, or possible vehicle contact (like returning to your 
parked car to find a dent in it) is collision.

Ramming a deer is comprehensive.

Re: [MBZ] Interstate Gator

I think I would go back to the dealer and get it up on a hoist so you 
can see if there is anything else that got whacked. Wouldn't think it 
should be too expensive to have them button it up. Bad luck but 
hopefully minimal damage.


A few years back I had a Honda Civic for a bit. Would probably still 
have it if I had more parking spot. I ran over something in the dark in 
a construction zone. Still don't know what it was - maybe a rock or a 
piece of broken concrete? Maybe something off of another vehicle as it 
sounded sort of metallic at the time. I crawled under to have a look the 
next morning when it was light outside and could see no damage apart 
from a couple of scratches on a cross member. I felt fortunate as it was 
a cold wet night and I was probably 20 miles from home. The car ran fine 
and steered normally and the oil pressure stayed OK so I felt safe in 
continuing on home but it was a bit of a concern until the next morning 
when I got a look underneath it.

Or, should I just go back to the stealer where I just got my oil

Or buy a Torx set and look for a “ramp”.

If you have collision coverage I'd take it to the dealer and file a claim.
