What did you sideswipe?

Looks at minimum: front bumper, left head light (who knows what that pushed in, could also be frame damage there), left fender, left door, left front side marker, rear door, rear quarter panel (requires body shop), rear bumper, and probably two wheels. Looks like fuel door and left rear tail light are likely damaged too.

Seriously, what did you hit? Hope you have insurance.

car-parts.com is your best friend. BTW why not let the insurance do all the work?

If the headlight is pushed in, the ballast and igniter could also be damaged. Those are a couple hundred bucks.

I concur, hope he's got insurance!

not to mention the front left wheel looks tweaked, possible suspension damage too

As much as a gem an MRP TL-S is, I'd write it off, given that you have insurance...

from the looks of it, it's possible that there's about 14k or more, worth of damage to the vehicle with all the stuff that has to be replaced and the all the labour needed it to restore the vehicle. With that money you can find a clean TL-S. Tell your friend to part out the vehicle if he wants to cut his losses

All that will PDR right out!


If I were in your shoes I'd buy it!







And then part the remaining parts out and recoup the 3k plus get some on top

For 3K the car I'll buy the car! The front suspension is damaged. All the bodywork and parts alone are upwards of $6000. Plus depending on mileage it may need a $1000 servicing, new tires, brakes, filters, etc.

A deer hit me a couple of years ago and took out almost all of the same components....had to replace all panels down the driver side from front to rear. Almost 5k and I had no structural issues. Good luck.

it needs body work at the rear. and the doors.

you wont get away with just replacing things...you'll need to do actual body work, ie; bring it to a shop to fix.

Agreed - Suspension definitely took a hit as well.

How many miles? 3k is not a bad price for it.
