My son hit deer with our 245 and took out both headlights. grill, turn signal assembly, bent hood and fender. So doesn't sound as bad as yours.

Shopped eeuroparts.com for electrical parts (clear headlights much better then the yellowed one we had) Had them the next day and was able get back on road.

Of couse the car looks a little 'meaner'. I used a pipe wrench on the hood to take out the curl, and a hammer on other parts and the remains of the grill are wired on. But the lights all work!

So depends on how perfect you want the repair. For under $200 I replaced both headlights and a turn signal assembly. Got a $75 fender from the junk yard I'll put on when weather better. For an 18 yr old with not the best driving record thats all I'm going for.

Now the leaking tranny fluid I wouldn't go cheap on. Find the leak and replace. Hopefully just a line got nipped as the deer went under, never know where a deer part might have hit!

Red might also be power steering - check that fluid too.

Good luck!

If you have the work done including a repaint of the hood. I bet $2000ish


If you are willing to live with the Ding in the hood abd get a $200 grill. and $75 Headlight $150 Radiator

If the radiator was just dinged, I'm surprised at the Trani leak. But either the new radiator will fix it of you will need to replace the one leaking Line.
These are approx prices, so you can just get an idea.

I had almost the same thing happen. The part that ticked me off was there were several deer in the road so I came to a crawl and as the deer were walking out of the street, One, from nowhere ran out of the woods and hit the fender of my car. I was basically at a standstill and this deer Hit ME!

He hit the very front om my fender, pushed in the fender, cracked the Headlight, broke the Pins on the front grill.

Deer... They can scoot through the woods at 30 MPH when being chased but they can't figure out that a 2 ton car is coming at them.

Sorry to here about the car

'75 Jeep CJ5 345Hp ChevyPwrd, two motorcycles, '85 Pickup: The '89 Volvo is the newest vehicle I own. it wasn't Volvos safety , it was Longevity that sold me

I have a 1990 740 GL with 166k miles and tons of work done to it that I'm putting up for sale. I think it is in great shape. It doesn't leak anything and has recently had fluids flushed and so forth.

I'm in Ithaca, send me an e-mail if your interested.

NMI

In my opinion, this is not an outrageous repair to make. You may need a new radiator- $150 or less(depending on the deal you can find).
You can either buy new hoses for the transmission cooler- which I believe has failed, or you could be really cheap like me and try to substitute fuel grade rubber hoses in the place of the cracks or breaks. You HAVE to be sure of where the leak is to do this, and the damage cannot be great.
TONS is a good amount to describe after driving 1/4 mile. The stuff pumps out fast!

Good luck!

71 142E and a yard full of 240's in Mass.

My brother lives in Ithaca and caught a deer in Dryden just over one year ago. 89 760, 60+ mph, totalled.

There's a good salvage yard in Auburn, NY called Pick-N'-Pull. They usually have a few 240s and the prices are really reasonable.

Or, Ithaca Foreign Car Service on State St. in downtown Ithaca would have all of those spare parts.

Good Luck--
