I had similiar panel damage last year, near the rear fender and passenger door and the price to fix was $2317.18 total. Paint and parts was $896.02....according to the information off my repair bill.

Honestly i say just keep looking. If its got a hit on it and goes through insurance then thats a price drop off the car.
I say keep looking there are plenty of good deals out there.

You quoted me so back at ya
