Default I am in need of an estimate on repairs

Hey guys I am buying this car from a friend. He was driving from Colorado Today. He was going about 40 mph and hit black ice and then slid into the wall. He did some damage to the right rear quarter panel, light and bumper. I am wondering how much it will cost for the quarter panel to be repaired here. This is the only part that is damaged.

I NEED, not want but Need an answer soon since I need to make a decision to buy the car. They might get it repaired or sell it to me for cheaper.

Do you think less then 1k? And is that just for the quarter panel? Or all?

Yeah the trunk isn't dented at all. I think everything is cosmetic. They already have new lights so all the need is a new bumper and fix the quater

Take it to a body shop. I hear they do this sort of thing for a living.

But, no seriously, take it to a body shop.
They shouldn't charge you for an estimate.
