So for those that dont know-
I was supposed to buy my monte from my parents with no damage, but there was a fender bender involving a fence post on their property. So i bought it as is, paying to have it fixed, then giving them the remander of the set cost minus the repairs.

So far without including possible suspension damage:

Bumper cover
Bumper absorber
Impact beam
Headlight
New fender
Supports (i believe it was fender and bumper cover)
Painting/clear coats
Labor



$$$$$$ 2,240.92 $$$$$$$$

Thats a healthy chunk

 

Gzz I'd say thats a big chunk, but if I remeber correcxtly it had low miles so I'd say well worth it.

 

Body work is always pricy, are u getting the headlight from the shop?

 

it has just over 36k as of monday.. and its still in imaculate shape otherwise.
The shop is getting all the parts and most are aftermarket to cut the cost. hell -ill never know the difference except for maybe a nicer looking bumper cover if im lucky.

 

U would prob be better off buying a set of headlights off ebay for $180 cuz the shop is prob charging $225+ for just the one, do u have a list of everything & the cost o eah individual part?

 

nope. they are shopping around all of their suppliers to get me the cheapest parts without hitting the dealers. i think they said there was only 1 part they couldnt find elsewhere and had to call the dealer....

 

Good luck getting your Monte repaired.

 

Get a list with prices & post it on here & ill let ya know if u can.get them cheaper

 

good luck getting it fixed and post some pics if you can.

 

Thanks but i already gave them the go ahead. i trust them, i know them pretty well.
