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!
