What do you think this will cost to fix

[BrooklynMW]

Found this on craislist. 1990 325IX. Seller claims mechanically in perfect shape, offering the car for a very good price. Besides the damage to the readr, the body and paint is perfect, and the interior is very nice, minus a few dash cracks. But there is body damage in the rear, someone hit the car.

He WILL replace the broken taillight, but besides that, I'm trying to get an estimate on how much this will be to fix. Looks like it needs a new bumper, side light and either a new rear fender, or the fender straightened out, and repainted.

Please look at the attached photo, and I'd love some professional advice/

Thanks!

you ever own an iX before? is that one up to date with maintenance? what about the frame? how is that?

pull that bumper and see whats going on under there.

the whole uni-body is tweaked, i wouldnt want to fuck with that.

Cost more than the car is worth to fix, and I still wouldn't do it. The frame of that car is likely tweaked hardcore.

Get another body

never mind the shell is fucked up. Just replacing the bumper and color matching it cost me 658$, I imagine this could reach 1000$. It seriously doesn't look that bad, just predict to spend 1500$ to make it right.

$2500-$3000 fixed RIGHT.

Yeah, quit re-hashing my old Noob threads. Needless to say, I didn't buy that car.
