Default wondering what to do with integra

Hey guys so i have a 96 integra special edition, it has a few things done to in including full exhaust,tokico blue struts all around,Si wheels, tinted windows,and a viper alarm,and replaced the ball joints water pump and timing belt.

So i was looking to sell the car and I recently hit a deer on the way to work the other day.
I was thinking to replace all the damaged parts, passenger fender,hood,riverside door, and headlight.

Just wondering what you do you think it would be worth with miss colored panels?
And what do you think it would be worth with a brand new fresh paint job?

You are gonna need way more info...mileage and pics would be a start. Rather than get estimates from random internet users, hit up Craigslist Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Madison, etc and find cars similar to yours to help you price.

I did but people have the prices so jacked up! its rediculus the kbb is around 2200 in fair condition and people are asking over 3,000 for a nice pretty clean integra. what im wondering is if I could sell it for 3,000 or more if I go through the whole hastle of preprinting it and spending 450+ dollars painting it and all the work invlolved

I bought a 96 SE with mismatched panels for $350.

It was rough though (obviously). Not painting it to match will kill the value though.

A really rough bodied (but driveable) LS is going to go for $800-1200 and if it has rust, maybe less. Your gonna spend at least a few hundred on all the panels you need...say $4-500 if your resourceful and almost as much on paint if you do it your self or have Maaco do it for $5-600. Then there is the time it takes to install those panels...and if your unexperienced, its gonna take longer to install them AND they might come out with some crooked lines which is gonna make it a tough sell. After the $1000 +/- and the time and energy, you might get $2500 if it comes out real clean, the car rides nice and tight, everything is solid. The extra couple of hundred you MIGHT make probably doesn't seem worth your time. I would consider parting it out, using as a parts car, or selling as is. We don't know how clean the car is otherwise. If it was a 9.5 out of 10 before you hit the deer.....super clean in every way....its worth it but otherwise....I say skip the work. Just my .02.

the car was actually really clean before the deer,i had just finished taking car of the rust, ground it all down then primed and painted it. the only ugly part on the car previously was the passenger side fender. by which in my parts garage i have a hood and two fenders and just picked up a door for $50, all i need now is the bumper lights and headlights which i think i have found locally for $75. and i have paint experience and already have all the equipment

i hate when people come on here asking what they should do with their car. its YOUR car nobody elses YOU should be able to make YOUR own decision on what YOU want to do with YOUR car. it shouldnt be anybody elses decision to make. alright i understand that you want peoples opinion but at the end of the day itll still be your decision to make on what to do with YOUR car.
