Rear Side Damage... What to do?

My 2009 California G37, garage kept, bought from a mechanic has body damage on the right side. It has 125,000 miles,The engine, brakes, ect are solid. The car interior is pristine . . . ., I would like to pull out the part dented in by the rear tire, and put on new doors. I have a friend who says that the damage is beyond repair. What to do?

Nothing is beyond repair, but is it worth repairing… what’s the alternative? No insurance claim here? Looks pretty bad to be honest.

Your friend that says the damage is beyond repair has obviously never done body work. You're obviously going to need to replace both doors, and you may need a chunk of a donor car to repair the area at the rear of the rear door and part of the wheel arch. The question will be, is it worth it? And only you can answer that question. From your post is sounds like you won't be doing the work yourself, and paying a shop to do it will probably be in the $5000 to $7000 range as just a guess.
