Question
Hello.
I drive a 1993 Cadillac Deville.
Over time (being a young driver and somewhat wreckless) I
have hit various things (I've never hit another vehicle).
So my car has some major damage which includes: the rear
bumper is dented, the front bumper is dented and falling
off, the front left door is scratch, the front left and
right panels are missing parts (they broke off), there is a
huge dent on the rear left panel, and my trunk won't close
all the way down (its the kind you can open from inside the
vehicle). Also, I want to get a nice paint job.
Approximately how much would all this cost? Thank you(:

Answer
Hello Ana
Thank you for the question.
Up here in Vancouver the cost for repairs of what you have described, would be, with parts and labor, aprox 10K. I do not know what part of the country you live in, but it might be a consideration to find a parts car, that is one with no engine or transmission and do some swapping
Again thank you for the question.
