Repair costs are almost all in
 
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?

forgotten 01-31-2012 08:19 PM

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?

forgotten 01-31-2012 09:16 PM

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....
