Can anybody give me an estimate for the cost of body work for a Mitsubishi Galant? Thanks in advance!

I recently had a collision. My car is a 99 Mitsubishi Galant ES. It looks pretty bad now. And I don't know whether it worths the repair or not. Could anybody give me an estimate for the cost of the body work? Thanks in advance!

Below are the pics of the car after the collision:

Let's see.

Front bumper
Passenger side front fender
Hood
Front grille
Front headlamps

Maybe damage behind the panels to the frame, radiator support, etc...

I'd say $3k-$5k minimum with labour for quality work.

Your local body shop would be the best bet as they can have a closer look.

I agree that $3000 to $5000 is a good rough estimate. However, you will need to take it to a shop to get a accurate estimate. There are a lot of factor that are hard to tell from pictures. I know there is gpoing to be some frame damage, but I don't know the extent of the damage. I don't know the condition of the AC condencer ir radiator. Are you willing to use used or aftermarket parts?

My best advise is for you to take it to a bodyshop you trust and have them write you an estimate. A lot of shops will do this free. Some shops will send an estimator if your car is not drivable.
