A bus veered into my lane and then lied to the cops so now i'm left with an ambiguous police accident report where they couldn't establish fault. Any idea on how much this is gonna cost me?

 

take it to a good body shop, that sucks man...

 

is that satin silver?

 

5-700, depending on the shop

 

I think the paint is called Brilliant Silver.

$500-600 doesn't sound as bad as I thought. I was expecting at least 1kl

 

Since its a 07-08, its Alabaster Silver Metallic... ASM

Take it to 3 different shops to get estimates. Body work can range quite a bit, good shops tend to charge more but offer better workmanship & paint material warranties. Def ask for warranties, and even better ask for it in writing with the estimate.

Could be 600, could be 1000. Some crappy shops try to mask everything & shortcut, good shops will (R&I) remove and install misc. parts to paint entire panels.

Tell them not to clear blend and paint the entire quarter up to the A-Pillar.

 

Just under 1000. I just had very very similar damage repaired. My shop did an excellent job and I was very pleased.

 

i have similar damage, took it to a good shop for $1300 cuz I wasnt at fault.

 

$1k-ish. one of my rear qtrs was damaged b/c some asshat didn't know how to park (hit and run)....good luck. is the car still driving straight? can't tell if the rear wheel was clipped or the rear passenger door.

 

Looks one panel area, but I guess I understimated. By the pic looks like a hammer, filler, sand, prime paint clear

 

Besides the repair area, they'll have to de-trim the rear door to color blend the adjacent panel. Could be slight damage on the edge too. They'll have to remove the tail lamp, side marker, pull away the bumper edge, mask inside the gas tank filler access, and paint/clear all the way up to the A pillar. I would expect a good shop to be around 1K.

 

Nice to finally see a post from someone who actually has a clue what they are talking about.

But I say $1,500 minimum.
