So as you guys know when I got my GTP I was aware of the fact it had been in an accident. I said I had every intention to get it fixed so today I went to the 2nd shop down the road from me to get a quote. The first place I went to was service king and they quoted me $7500. Today I went to a shop that does work on Ferrari's and Bentley's, I know this because I saw them inside the shop. Thinking it was probably going to be a high quote the guy came out (oriental guy) and inspected my car. He mentioned it has front end frame damage and that the car would have to be dissembled in the front end to do the repairs. He kept telling me the repairs would be expensive and not worth it for a car that is a 1999. So I asked him how much and he said.....

$2500 Yup, that was to repair the frame AND replace the headlights, repaint the front end, and replace the front bumper and install new fog lights...
I was blown away by this price because I knew if I paid $2500 to have it fixed AND even if I decided to sell the car after I fixed it I could sell the car for $4500-$5000 and would still come out on top! I was so ecstatic and happy! Time to start saving up!

Here are some pics of the body damage/frame damage:

 

When you save up that money and get a second quote it won't be near that :p

 

Shhhhh LOL

 

I would hurry up before he changes his mind.lol That's not bad to get it all straitened up.

 

just becuase it is cheaper doesn't mean it will be in the long run it is just a quote, a quote can turn into a larger end cost quickly , plus they may use cheaper sortafit parts ect or cut corners yes they may work on bently's and what not but thos people obviously have money to blow, you on the other hand do not

 

That would be sick if they did the work for that much,get savin!:p

 

Have you ever though of just getting the frame fixed and doing the rest yourself?

 

Before getting ANY work done, you may want this all in a written estimate.

Also, popping the headlights out and new ones in are easy unless you have an issue with what they mount up too....

Best of luck, I hope everything pans out the way you are hoping it to (that would be pretty awesome).

 

There is a huge issue with them being mounted, anytime I hit the slightest bump the headlights wobble

 

I would do this ^

that could be as simple as a broken bracket on the headlight itself, did the shop look at the structure of the damage? or did they just take a quick look at it?
