Default What would this cost to fix????????????

Assuming none of the suspension components are messed up.
1st thing would be to get a wheel/tire, get it aligned and then go from there.......

List of what I think it needs.




Front bumper
tail light
trunk
trunk weatherstrip
entire rear part of the car( like from tail light to tail light, behind the bumper and trunk
rear 1/4
and front fender

Parts are around $1600 from honda, what would you think a shop would charge for this job?

A lot for the laber you are looking at 2kish and that doesn't even assure it will be right. There is a high problability that the car has frame damage and will most likely never drive the same again. Really the car is only good for parts. That's my thoughts on it since it is an AP1 you can find those now in the 9k range after you buy all the parts and pay the labor to make it look right, you will still have a salvage title and the possibilty of the car not tracking like a true S2000 would.

Better off saving your money and getting one that isn't bent.

My front end on my ap1 has the same amount of damage from a deer and State Farm just cut me a check for $3400. I'd bet that rear quarter seals the deal though.

Hard to tell. Everything on the rear is ap2 but everything on the front is ap1 lol.

^ hence why I believe it is an AP1 with an AP2 rear conversion. You don't usually see an AP2 switch to an AP1 front end.

With trunk being lets say 600-700, rear bumper 400, taillight 350, paint/labor for the rear at 2000 (assuming the quarter COULD be reworked) There's 6-7k in damage with just what we can see according to bodyshop prices.

I call dibs on the carpet. lol

I'd say you're a little light on that figure! The broken headlight alone is about $700 from Honda. Cars totaled, move on.

suspension's done. it'll cost 2-3k in parts from a dismantler/wrecker.

if you're handy with a wrench, you'll be alright.

think so? I think the frame's okay. if you mean sheetmetal, fender apron, etc. on the chassis that's different. The "frame" or the major part of the chassis that deals with structural rigidity, can't really be judged from the pictures. but judging from the damages present I'd say the frame's likely to have gotten away unscathed.

I think I have seen this car then before a while back on one of the other threads a S in that color that was an AP2 with an AP1 front end came up and someone was asking if it was a good buy or not.

That car was already in an accident before and the body shop did a crap job of putting the wrong headlights and bumper on it. Now this, I can tell you that car is done I am surprised that the insurance didn't total it.

Since the insurance didn't total it then they will pay to fix it why are you asking how much it will cost to fix. Pay your deductable and get the thing fixed.

Looks like it would be at least 4,500 and that IS a AP1. Look at the head lights and front bumper.

I should clarify that this is not my car, its a friend of mines, Im thinking about buying it, might take it to get an alignment before I even buy it, if it pans out then Ill buy it, worst comes to worst itll make a killer track car.

Hi,
Nothing too bad with this car. just add a new glass at back light. don't replace the whole light.
Denting would cost you more but search for a good dentor in you area.
Thanks
