Wreck cost estimate

I have a 2002 Acura 3.2 CL and was wondering how much it would cost for me to get my car repaired after a semi minor accident the entire back passenger side right behind the wheel well is concave in with the rear light being knocked out and completely broken. I am just curious roughly how much it would be to get it to only functional and to pre wreck condition. The trunk opens and closes fine, the wheels are free moving, the only thing to make it legal is replacing the rear passenger light assembly and probably trying to knock the metal back in place.

Too hard to say without seeing pictures. There are lots of junked CLs these days you could grab parts from.

Just as a reference, this cost me $5,000 but that was with a full body repaint.



Without the repaint it would have been $2,000 or so.

This was not "dealer" price. This was using junk parts wherever possible, and it took a very long time because the shop set it as their lowest priority.

Mine was on the other side just a little higher on the car and probably about 3 moe inches back

Ah.... it hurts to see a fellow Red CL hurt like that! Glad you were ok and was able to fix it!
