I got hit in the back quarter panel and only have liability coverage. All of the body shops that I've been to quoted $5000 to fix. Anyone know of any possible solutions? Is it worth selling for $2000? Here's a link to images.

it has to be welded out and a new piece from a donor car welded in.

sucks and sad to see.

 

What about insurance? The price is accurate. Make sure they do a good paint job though.

 

Was it your fault? the others insurance should be cutting you a check for the value of the car cause it costs too much to fix it.
Given the damage I'd try to sell it if it's not going to insurance.
You might be able to get away with some temp fixes.....like a trunk lid & get a body shop to pull the panel out with a frame puller, then a new tail light. Just those should be under $1k easily. Wouldn't look great still, but better & allow the trunk to close.

 

A new quarterpanel only costs $1018.00
