Cost of repair?

[eedok]

I stopped a little late at a stop sign and got clipped by a 91 Chevrolet Astro.
I did damage to just above the wheel well(paint scratched off and maybe some denting).
The damage was supposively under $1000(verified by an officer).
What sort of figure should this be around as it looks like I'm paying for this out of my own pocket?

Picture might help, but just drive around to local shops and get some quotes.. pick the cheapest of the places you feel comfortable with.

I would estimate if ALL that is needed is the fender to be repaired/painted you could do so for 300-400 (100-150 for painting, the rest for labour/parts). This price goes up if other things (Lights, etc...) are needed.

As for what you'll pay? Whatever the guy in the Astro Van asks for. If you don't, he'll just go through insurance.

yea there's no fender damage, just a scratch above the tire in the wheel well, I'm thinking it'll just be a dent removal and a paint job.
