rear bumper, left light and left quarter panel should be replaced. not sure of the prices in Saudi, but i'm guessing at least 5K+

Sorry for the damage to your car...but if that was your worst day ever, you must have a great life.

It's not too bad...mainly because of the way it was hit.
It should turn out just fine...

The damage is ugly, but cosmetic. It can be repaired. Your day could have been far worse.....you were not hurt.

Sry for your loss.

Glad you're ok.

Damage doesn't look too bad barring nothing is messed up u der the cosmetic damage. I would guess sniper is in the ballpark of $5k+

Sorry for your loss. I'd agree with the 5k ballpark estimate. The bumper and taillight are nearly 2k alone! I had a similar type of accident, but on the front passenger side (pic is in my gallery). The total was around $3300.

I don't know if it's possible but I would definitely have a shop do the quarter-panel and then try to install the new light and rear bumper yourself. I imagine it shouldn't be too hard, and you can save yourself a pretty penny and use the remainder of the insurance money to mod your car. This is of course after you have it professionally inspected and assumes that there is no structural damage, just cosmetic.

i went today to traffic police for repair costs , yup like what you say but they told me
i can't have any of my dealer estimated repair costs report , they will make the insurance company buy me only 935 $ for labour charge + spare parts after 25% discount

i have friend who know someone at our dealer company will help me with great discount
that's the only good news for today
thanks sniper

that true but wrong also because we have a very ignorant police traffic we lack the rights that any car owner should have such as fair pricing ..etc.

yup i wish it turned decent at least

thanks tejasg37x

thanks buddy , i think the rear stuff are a little bit cheaper , here we have most of the body parts unpainted .

Replace the panel. But it really depend on their skill level. I would just go with the one with better rep.
