aww ****

ok i woke up this morning went outside to smoke a newport real fast and get something out of my car...well it was on tha passanger side so i walked over and noticed i had a huge dent right there past tha tire before tha door starts. people from across the street had a lil part last night so i think one of them might have backed out and hit it. im pissed right now and i got to fix it because it looks so ugly. its sunday so no auto collision paint shops are open so before i go into work tomarrow i was wondering if any1 can give an estimated price on how big of a hole is this goin to cause in my checking account...thanks

Depends on size of the dent, whether it can be pulled with out drilling or with out needing paint.

If it's on the front fender, goto a junkyard, pick up a used fender for 25-50. Have a bodyshop match up the paint and paint it for less than 200. Slap it on yourself!

2000 is rediculous. So there's a dent in the fender, but only scratches on the door and rear panel? That should still be cake.. I'd go the route of getting a new fender. not brand new of course-junkyards are your friend. Then all you have to do is get paint on the scratches and fender. Damn, go to maaco or something. Don't they do entire cars for like 300 or something? You should spend no more than 600 dollars on the ENTIRE deal. Whoever you went and talked to for the estimate, don't go there ever again.
