Worth getting fixed....

hi,
I have a BG 182 FF on 31K with recent belt changes. The body work needs some work and have been quoted £700 to sort it all... Is it worth it sorting?

Care to elaborate on what's wrong with it?

 

[Adams77]

Both rear quarter panels have door dents on and small damage to the wheel arches. Front bonnet is dented and has a large scratch on the front bumper.... Car spent most it's life in London haha

£700 sounds a bit obscene for dent removal and a couple of resprayed areas.

I think they're trying to shaft you mate.

Where are you based?

In a way its quite nice to have a car that you dont have to worry about parking in supermarkets. Is this car one you bought in the last few months from Hertforshire for a touch over 2k? If its the one Im thinking of it has a lot of dings - my dent man charges £20 per ding but does a good job. Bonnet will probably need replacing as the dents are from closing the bonnet and you cant bang them out as there is reinforcement under it blocking access. It might well come to £700 and i guess it come down to whether you want a tidy car or not.
