Recently got hit by mother nature was wondering if anyone knew of any shops I could a free estimate at or find the parts needed for cheap?

 

Hello buddy and welcome to the forums.


Might want to ask that with a location since your plates can only tell us your state. All those parts can be found at ebay or junkyards.


Id estimate around... 600-700 bucks for parts alone?
And yes say bye bye to the front skirt unless you want to be around 900-1K for parts alone IF you find an original part..

 

Thank you for that. I am currently located in Blaine MN. At the moment I'm trying to figure out if I have frame damage or not. If it does I'm thinking about selling it. Any suggestions?

 

What happened exactly? Strong winds and a debris hit it? If so then the main chassis of the car (The important stuff) should not be damaged as the TL uses a Sub-frame for the important stuff.


What could be damaged is the driver body frame but that can be mended with a body shop. Well judging from your wheels I say you have a Type-S with Body Skirts.. In that condition you wont be getting much money anyway and the TL´s aren't great re-sellers either... Your best bet is to fix it altogether and keep it.

 

We hit a bear or wolf or dear. Not sure what though. I know that i need a new core support/hood latch. And also need to see if it is fixable. Cause I would hate to have to sell it of get rid of it.

 

Your car is really not that bad. There is probably no frame damage, if there is it's very minor.

All you need is a front bumper, bumper reinforcement, some minor miscellaneous bumper parts,, headlamp assembly, a left baffle, maybe a upper rad tie bar, left fender, fender bracket, repair hood... etc, and refinishing.

Estimating around $2000 when it's all said and done.
