Just saw this on the news 😳
What the buck did that😮
Ouch
I wonder if the highest level of car insurance would cover the cost of the repairs? They have solid proof. Maybe get it fixed with the insurance company first so it still can be sold at the asking price? I know it’s way too late for that but it’s a solid question.
Former price $17,000. Deer price, $10,000. This video is going to ends up on Daily Dose.
Dear mj I’m deer that can be in nba one day 😂😂😂
“Oh Deer! (pun)
That’s bucked up.
@Jayne Cobb Fun Fact: Back in the Fur Trading Days, a deer pelt was worth one dollar, and over time the Buck Pelt Value carried over to the dollar, hence being called a “Buck”!
9400 for a old Chevy truck hahahaha
The leaping deer was a paid actor
Just file an insurance claim. Chances are the owner has a $500 deductible. For $500, the truck is back in the same condition. Stuff happens.
But filing the claim might make his insurance rate go up.
@wow newstome That, and some plans don’t cover pre-existing damage. Which would be the case for the new owner.
@wow newstome I’ve filed several ln my state (California) for things that weren’t my fault. Rates didn’t budge. One was a huge claim (it ended up being over $80,000 for a demolished car and medical), when I was hit by a drunk driver who had no insurance. No effect on my rates.
@roachtoasties That could have something to do with the state of California being a no-fault state. Or, they could be unique in another way. It’s hard to draw a an accurate comparison when California’s in the picture because they are almost their own country and have a ton of unique policies that no other state has.
Or, maybe you’re just lucky. My insurance rates have always risen when I file a claim. I can see it, in real time, because my “accident-free” discount disappears from my statement. It’ll be in your discounts section at the bottom of the statement.
@Johnny Vivic California isn’t a no-fault state but does have some consumer protections.
Holy deer sausage
That deer said hold my beer
Cocaine Deer
😂
9400 dollars went out the window…I’m surprised dude paid the 80 something for it…
Is English your second language? Because “9400 dollars out the window” mean the total $9400 was lost.
@wow newstome riiiight….🙄
Now that’s a deer of a century!
Must be a trained attack deer 😂
Oh deer!
The deer was like “so you’re having a nice day with your upcoming sweet deal…let me put a dent in it. Human much.
Mean while the Pontiac live another day
Buyer had another bed already at home. Deer was a paid actor
About $3000 damage and he lowers the price by $1000? He ripped that guy off.
Yeah I was just thinking that the seller could claim the damage on his insurance, delay the sale of course and then sell it later on and make out even better.
Poor deer really tried to avoid getting a trespass ticket for touching that concrete but didn’t make it, so sad 😢
That dog seen him coming and was on it
🤣🤣🤣
Cow: Jumps over the moon
Deer: “Hold my beer…”
he lucked out that the buyer still wanted the truck…
Deer are truly one of the dumbest animals around! The only thing they’re good for is venison! 😂
I’ve seen deer jump 8 foot high fence without a problem.
Imagine if we get hit by a leaping deer. Some bones would likely break
Right
Deer strikes are always covered under comprehensive coverage. Is there a claim here even if the truck sold????
The seller could but he’d have to delay the sale. His insurance won’t cover it if the title’s not in his name. As for the new owner, his insurance may not cover it at all, because it would be pre-existing damage. I’m guessing the seller just decided to take the loss in order to sell the truck that day.
I’ve seen some of the dentless repair guys that have pulled out some bad places I don’t know if they could do a miracle job like that
Homie literally showed up a couple seconds later 😂straight outta a movie.
Crazy timing that the buyer showed up just as it happened. If he didn’t it would be tough to explain to buyer that it just literally happened 😂
I mean he did have video footage.
I had my 1990 4runner get the catalytic converter stolen the day I had someone coming to buy it in 2013
Buyer: you sure you can get the job done? I really need that discount bro.
Deer: I got you man, just make sure to get my payment ready.
Another legendary deer story for the history books
I went under a 500lb deer at 110 mph on I94 in Michigan. The Monstrous Beast jumped a newly built 15 ft retaining wall meant to stop deer lol. I bet they tore that wall down by now. I was in a high powered convertible. Had i been going 109 mph he would have literally been in my lap. His toe hit the back of my spoiler and his face was looking at me thru the glass while he was falling out of the sky.
1st time NBC is actually reporting News usually it’s Propaganda
🦌 : “I believe I can fly!!!!”
Leaping Larry’s Used Car Sale
And then Jay began his deeratarian diet from that day
Dang, almost a 10/10!
My decades long sreak of bad luck was gone this morning. It must have showed up at this guy’s house.
F’n deer.
I was thinking the same thing about cutting down the price.
Must be Trump gun loving supporters near by that’s why the deer try to get away so hard
insurance money.
😂😂😂
what is Biden doing in Washingtom. OMG, this happens?
Washingtom? Your GED is showing again.
that’s funny what a team
I think what was really going on was a game of tag!
The truck was base! Deer won 🏆
I’ve heard many cases of deers or wild animals crossing the road right in front of moving vehicles.. were those just coincidence or is there better explanation? 🤔
Insurance can cover that under comprehensive 😂 depending on your deductible it could as low as $50 😅
That buck sure caught some air!
What can u say Rudolph a bit early too on Christmas deals😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
PLOT TWIST – HE SOLD IT AFTER HE MADE 3,900 DOLLAR INSURANCE CLAIM…….PAINT MATCH AND SHOP FEES
Ive misjudged that last stair step too..
The dear heard about climate crisis and was trying to suicide itself and take out a carbon footprint vehicle while causing itself an abortion. It identified as a doe.
Even the deer are trying to jump out of New Jersey.
That truck bed got all bucked up.
Lol explain that one to the insurance company
Oh deer
do they have to make jokes after a scared animal hurts themselves
I have personally witnessed the impressive jumping ability of deer. While riding my bike on a weekend afternoon a few years ago, an elk appeared to be flying over me on a bicycle trail. My heart raced as I realized the close call I had experienced, and how easily it could have turned into a tragedy had that elk landed on me. Looking back, I regret not having a video capture of the event, but it was unexpected and caught me off guard. This experience taught me how delicate life can be.
I’m starting to feel lucky for living in moose country. Moose are big and scary, but are not sporadic. They don’t behave like cracked-out hyenas.
Rudolph Training?)😂
Honestly, if I was the buyer, I’d be highly suspicious of this story. ;-).
I’m glad he had video, because “it jumped over the top of our van and hit the truck”, sounds 100% impossible.
Deer named Tom Cruise has entered the chat….
$8,500 was the original price. I DEER you to disagree!!!
Maybe it thought it was one of Santas Reindeer?? Lol
Gonna tell my kids that the deer was The Greek Freak
You mean I watched $1,400 disappear?
Ai is amazing. Stay safe guys .
That deer has the beginning signs of CWD.
I bet this makes it on to the Seth Meyers monologue lol
Never trust a young buck these days
This indicates that the quality of cars now is not the same as before
Cased it. Mountain Bikers know this all too well 😀
He had no ideer. 🤡
Pre tenderized meat… er I mean awww poor deer.
Seller: Hey, did you see that buck slam into the truck? Buyer: No, I saw $1000 bucks taken off from the truck. (Hopefully the owner makes it back from the viral video.)
Deer dont like gangstalkers 😊 deer dented their white pick up
The dog tried his best to save the truck….
The deer was the first owner of the truck and don’t want it sold.
Our used car market is so out of whack.
Some spiritual stuff is going on here.
Humans and their Mint condition ..My poo is to .LoL .
Now I know what kind of fences I need!😆😁😄😃
even thou he lost $ on the sale, he watches it a 100X because “its still funny to hear it crash into the side of the bed” Haha
I can’t believe he still got $8500 out of it. Replacing a bed or pulling that dent is going to be more than $1000.
That deer was a paid actor 😂
kinda sus
That deer was a paid actor lol
Poor thing
❤
That dent adds so much character to the truck……like it was meant to be there…..
Oh Deer!
Note to self, deer bellys are hard
Oh deer me
Conspiracy… it was the dogs fault. He scared the deer
