How much to fix?

[RedEmblem]

Hey guys,

I'll soon be getting some quotes from smash repairers on the Coast and was wondering what you guys thought this should cost to fix. There appears to be no engine damage whatsoever, so only the body needs work.

I'm thinking around 2-3k, but it'd be nice to get the opinions of others who have gone through this before.

Thanks,

After a 4WD backed into my 180SX, the insurance company paid the smash repair $1700 to:

Repair serious damage to one fender (v hard to get parts for grey imports then)

Paint bonnet, nose, fenders and blend paint up both doors.

It may not be as expensive as you expect, but you'll get what you pay for.

$1500? .. minor damage, almost just minor scrapes rather than any damage (from photos).. new front bar.. new guard (probably not even) and spray of those parts. Any more than $1500 MAX would be criminal..

I got the whole side of my old car sprayed (pro job.. barely visible) for $800
