Question
OK I was in an accident and insurance said it was a total loss but haven't came to look at it yet. Heres the damages which are all on the driver side.

Fender (would need to be completely replaced)
Bumper (not sure if it's fixable)
Corner light (the one next to the headlight)
Mirror (theres a whole in the plastic part of the mirror)
Minor dents on the door, where the gap between the fender and door is.
A small dent, about 3 inches wide, 1 inch high, not caved in bad at the quarter panel where the fender well is.

Any clue of the estimates with parts, paint, labor etc?

1992 Honda Prelude Si

Thanks

David, your prelude is totaled. It's next to impossible to get parts for this ancient honda through normal means that insurance companies and body shops use. Couple that with the low book value of this car, and all it takes is a little fender bender to total it. Just a guess? You have 1500.00 of damage- the car books, high book, for about 1200. Bill
