Deer Collision

My wife nailed a deer/deer ran into her last night. Damage as pictured. 2016 Highlander.

We were talking about getting a new vehicle for her. Curious if anyone has any opinions on what we should do as my thoughts were:

  1. Buy new vehicle. Get whatever dealership will offer for a trade knowing they have to repair but the car has no other issues whatsoever
  2. Get quote for repairs & have fixed then search for new vehicle when fixed. Probably turn in to insurance since we have a $500 deductible & no other claims in the last 15+ years.
  3. Get quote for repair. Take to dealership knowing how much retail repair would cost to make bargaining for new vehicle more straightforward.

Open to any other suggestions. Thanks in advance
