I smashed my fathers 2002 impala into a guard rail, basically was going a bit to quick for rush hour, car in front braked hard and I did to, only I hit some gravel that made me barely hit the edge of the guard rail. It maybe bit between 5-8 MPH.
Basically indented the door and the quarter panel next to it and bent a little bit the metal below the door(right back passenger).
Body shop said it was going to cost 4k, car is worth 3k so insurance company is only covering 3k.
I will probably match whatever he pays if he does take that route. So stupid,
but could I goto the junkyard and get a door and quarter panel and have a body shop put it on? and paint it to the color?
would that save a lot? I replaced doors and hoods before, but the welding pretty much cancels this out.
what do you guys think. Really not a bad car, runs perfect I would hate this stupid little accident to put it out of commission but that could very well be the case
