Their is this XR6 Manual I am interested in buying. if I do get this car I will treat it like a king :). The thing is its $3700 at my local car dealer joint and has a smashed side me thinking tree branch or something fell on it. Its on awesome looking car though. I am thinking about keeping the front spoiler as it looks awesome. I think I might have to replace the lights at the front though :( which could cost a bit probably damaged battery holder and surge tank as well. What I am interested in is how much the bonnet and right fender from a wreckers will cost any colour I dont care what colour at this stage I might do a paint job over time :S.
Please have a look at this car and give me a price you recon it will cost to get it on the road!!!!!!!

That looks a little more than cosmetic, The front bar will need to be repaired/replaced for sure, I cant really help you with prices but it LOOKS like the front subframe/radiator support panel has been damaged, which may cost you a bit to repair if you dont know any panelbeaters. IF you do know a panelbeater, take him to have a look over the car, but as I said, it looks a little more serious than replacing a few panels

by the way it looks as though the drivers run underneath a 4x4 tray back or something

Chat to a panelbeater, take him lots of photos if he can't come to the car.
As six said, looks as if some structural work will have to be done.
I imagine you could do it for well under $6 grand, I'd suggest $1 grand but it really depends how much work needs doing on the structure of the vehicle.

hmm I recon its a real awesome looking machine!!!! Hopefully their isnt anything mechanically wrong with it apart from the battery holder and surge tank being thrown around and I should be able to fix that for under 1 grand but me thinks theirs things more sever

How many K's?

Why isn't the dealer getting it repaired himself???

That has ran into somthing, not had somthing fall onto it.
Even if it did cost $6000 to get onto the road, its still a reasonably cheap XR.
You might even be able to get the bonnet, front gaurd, bumper, rad support panel the correct colour from a wreckers, so that would cut the costs.
Them later you could put the ugly copy XR/GT front end back on.
Good luck, keep us posted.
