is this fender bender costly to fix?
 

I can do the bumper myself since it's just a bolt on. But the side panel is fuqed and the door needs a little force more than usual to close. I heard most rear panels are welded. I dont have a torch or time to do any banging, not that I know how to do it properly. Whattaya guys think? If you are familiar with bodyshop repair and know what a rough estimate might be, that'd be cool.

i had insurance fix my 1/4 panel by replacing it and it cost me $2400 and my bumper wasnt messed up. That was on a honda

I cant believe it costs more to fix a nissan than an acura. Replacing control arm, strut, welding my trunk, set me back 1200 for my old teggy.

That quarter panel is a pain in the ass because its welded in. Thus you either have to beat it out the best you can and bondo it or cut and weld a new one in...either way a professional has to do it and it will cost a good bit of cash.

grab your ankles and bring some KY

your looking at a couple thousands you need a new quarter panel rear bumper and paint.... at least 2000-3000

My girlfriends 93 camry looked a lot like that. They replaced the rear panel and painted it for $2,4xx.
