I got And pix in my FoST :-(. Damage is minimal on front door. Rear door is slightly crooked and is trash, fender significant damage. Wheel barely scratched buy I am gonna try to get it replaced so it is as nice as it was. So let’s play guessing games maybe I’ll find a prize.

And the other car that clearly won the battle.

I had another similar accident about a year and a half ago which was close to your guess. I thought this will be a bit worse but no mirror this time so I think you’ll be close

The right side of my Cobalt was hit while parked. A WEEK AFTER I GOT THE CAR BACK FROM THE LEFT SIDE GETTING FIXED FOR SOMEONE ELSE HITTING IT WHILE PARKED ALKDFJAKLDSJFAL;D (story later once insurance clears everything up)

Anyways, the damage was pretty bad this second time. New rear pass. door and repaint, repaint front pass. door and rear bumper, new right rear fender. $6500.

First time was just the driver’s door replaced, that was $1400. Door only I’d say about $1400-2000 depending on costs where you live. I’d say $3000 ish with the fender, maybe $4000 if the rear door and fender need replace and a front door fix/repaint.

Hence why I won’t tell the story (if you look back in my profile you’ll find the original postings about my car the first time around, and the resulting postings about my rental Altima). Long story short, I am not hearing much from the insurance, they were having some back and forth about estimates from the body shop and somehow they’re fixing it. Doesn’t seem to check out to me.

hard to tell the extent of the damage from the pic, but if I assume the rear door needs a skin, the car is metallic black, the wheel is repairable and the dog leg has only minor damage, i come up with $2343.92

New door skin, quarter looks to be repairable. (I don't know Ford's parts costs, but labor (painting whole panels [because black] and paint materials I'd guess $1800ish)
