4 grand welding and blending with parts

 

that will not be cheap. id say the **** is about right maybe even more

 

i second ****'s estimate. parts and labor is not going to be cheap. did you cause the accident or did someone else collide into your car? just let insurance handle it unless you lack full coverage or the other driver is one of your south of the border best without any license or insurance.

 

I had a similar hit on our 09 although both doors needed to be replaced, was $8k when the dust settled

 

A couple of weeks ago and you are asking that question here!
Didn't your insurance company provide you with the answer?
If you didn't contact them why not?
My estimate from your photo is $10k
You can't afford wheel locks perhaps you are over your head with that vehicle?

Telcoman

 

serious? it cost that much to fix? I've never really damaged my car like this, only ****ed up bumpers. Is that panel not removable or something?

I would try to figure out if you can pull that panel off a salvage and just repaint it, then replace. And just buy a new wheel.

 

All rear quarters are part of the body

 

They'll have to cut and Reskin the area and pretty much paint the whole side

 

yea thats not a separate panel like your front fenders. this is going to hurt the wallet. very few cars have a quarter panel that can be removed from the car like the front fenders like a crown vic for example

 

Oh damn. TIL

 

aside of the example i cant think of any cars where the quarter panel is removable. thats the worst place to crash

 

Totally depends on where you live. I am certain I could get that fixed for a few thousand dollars max where I live, but labor is cheap in rural Kentucky.

 

That is some nasty damage...

 

Yeah thats bs and rear quarters are always part of the body. I cant think of a single car made that the rear isn't.

You say "got hit", wouldn't this be an insurance thing for the guy that hit you? Even guessing it was your fault it's hard to imagine how you could cause damage like that and it be your fault. Maybe a shop can use those new spot weld tools and pull that dent out without having to replace the panel. If insurance isnt a possiblity just go get an estimate. They are usually free.
