Cost of this repair?

Sorry if this is the wrong section
Looking at an 06 WDP Tl /w 71k miles & Navi @ 14,2

Only major flaw is this under the front bumper due to probably hitting the curb or something.

How much do you guys believe it would cost for that to be repaired?

Get an aspec kit instead to cover it.

Well I wanted to know so I can factor it into the final price.

Aspec does sound nice tho ha

you can knock about $300 off the price and for your question about Acura delaer yes you can pay them to do PPI, I think they called 150 points inspection.

I had an Acura dealership do a "used car inspection" on my 04 when I bought it. It costs $120. Make sure you have the seller sign a bill of sale that says you have a reasonable amount of time to have it inspected before the sale is final.

Like in previous replies, getting a aspec kit will go over those scrapes and probably cost a lot less. Especially when vendors here sell kits painted already. Painted front aspec cost about $250 give or take a few bucks.

But if your thinking about just getting the front aspec lip, might as well think about getting the whole kit, it just won't look right IMHO

Do the prices vary for the inspection from dealer to dealer?

Do you guys believe 13,500 before taxes would be reasonable for a tl with these specs

WDP 06 Acura TL /w Navi @ 71,400 miles.

Only true physical flaw is https://i.imgur.com/BbzKQ.jpg besides a few very small unnoticeable nicks that almost any 6 year old car may have.

You might be able to get away with about $200 to sand down, primer, paint, and clear the bottom portion of the front bumper.
