General Approximate cost to fix bodywork?

[nathonjones]

I have some crumple damage to the front right side of my Multipla. It really doesn't look that bad, but I wondered, approximately, how much that would cost to fix? I assume they'd just replace the panel as opposed to beating it out, although beating it out might work.

Also, how much would a 55' plate 1.9 JTD with about 42,000 miles fetch these days? Webuyanycar offered £3200 but I've heard stories that once you get to them they offer way under what they quote online (I mentioned the damage when requesting the quote).

Appreciate the advice, thanks.
Nath.

Not sure on a price for car i no they take about a thousand pound of what its worth witch is a joke but milage seems high i have a 2001 with that milage on it as for the wing ya prob better of sorcein one on ebay or a scrap yard for a cheap fix and you will prob find the colour you want if not i no a man that can sorce one for you from essex i would have to get bk to you with a number though

42,000 miles in 5 years is high? 8400 a year? I thought that was relatively low. Hey-ho!

Was just looking for an approximate cost really, so that I can decide whether it's worth fixing before selling or just take the hit and let wbac.com have it.

Appreciate the advice Pete, thanks.
