2002 Saturn SL1 64,000 miles

I recently slid on the ice into another car, and the passenger side fender of my car is pretty damaged. Also, my rear mirror and front headlight, as well as the handle for my rear passenger door. I was just looking for a ballpark figure for what I am going to have to pay for it since my insurance doesn't include collision.

There's a picture attached.

How much you spend will depend on which repair route you would like to take.

Your cheapest option:
Find an auto-wrecking yard (Your vehicle is a popular model)
1) Fender = $50.00
2) Head light assembly = $35.00
3) Door handle = $10.00
4) Side mirror = $20.00

If you aren't so mechanically inclined to install these parts yourself, any body man will do it at around $100.00 per hour. (They'll probably book you for 5-hours)

The most expensive option is to take it to a body/collision shop and let them order the parts from one of their suppliers.
1) Fender = $300.00
2) Head light assembly = $75.00
3) Door handle = $50.00
4) Side mirror = $80.00

Labor will be the same as above.
