At first I though the damage was only on the door panel. Replacing one panel isn't going to be that much. But it looks like the rear panel must be busted as well. I still think it'sll only be 1000 bucks though.

Just remember once an insurance claim has been filed to repair your car it will be on the records for your car. This can effect the value of your car even after it's been repaired.
Even an appraiser examining your car should be able to see the repair & adjust it's value accordingly. |

Update
Thanks for all your responses guys.
Yeah, I realize that the overall value will probably go down after that. But if I had the choice I'd rather buy a fixed car then one that's still smashed up. Well I've got an appointment today at 2:30 to take the car in and have it looked at by the local collision center. Maybe while i'm there I can get them to fix the little ding in my front left fender. |

Update #2
Well the total is a little over 1300 (I think it's about 139something).
I have to leave my Yaris at the collision center this Sunday, and leave it there for about a few days. Hopefully it will come back fixed. And yes, there will be pics. Last edited by Black_griffin6; 05-11-2011 at 09:20 PM. |

Go to a body shop or a mechanic you trust. Ask him how much? and that you will pay in cash.
I was involved in an accident where my fender, my door, my light, was replaced had some additional frame work done too. All for for $ 3100 with paint and work, pretty pricey but my insurance covered it. I don't think its absolutely necessary to replace the whole door in your case. No point in spending a grand on a 10grand car.
