Question
I am thinking about buying a '99 Honda Prelude SI from this shop. Yet Both bumpers are gone, paint is scratched, and the rear spoiler is cracked... how much would you estimate the cost to repair it

Answer
Hi William! Unfortunately without actually seeing it, I can not give you an accurate estimate. Is it just the bumper covers missing, or are the re-bars also missing? Is there damage to the rear panel and/or frame rails on the back? Also, is there damage to the frame rails and/or rad support on the front? Ask the shop what happened to the car and get them to give you an estimate. If you are not satisfied with them, get an estimate from another reputable shop. Remember: buyer beware! Hope this helps.
