Default Questions on bodywork cost

My neighbor is selling me his 2006 EX-L Accord Sedan I4 w/ navi for a steal of a price. Car has about 71k on it, but there are some damage to the body. I test drove the car, and it runs smooth.

I'm an amateur when in comes to repairing/replacing parts, but i find it enjoyable doing so, plus I save money.

I took some pictures of the body damage today, can anyone give me some approximate estimates on how much it'll cost to fix. I live in Queens, NY.



1.Rear bumper I plan to replace myself with an aftermarket one, ive read aircardcorp from eBay is a reputable seller for this.

2.However, im alittle more iffy replacing the fender myself because it looks alittle more complicated, there are no videos on this.

3. The dent and scuff marks on the lower part of the door...anyone know a ball park estimate, so I know i wont get ripped off by a body shop.

4. Theres a weird shallowing of the rear fender...how would one repair that?


***side note, i went with my neighbor(she knows little bout cars) to her normal oil change place where she has gotten services since 2010, i've asked them to print me a vehicle service history, seems like they talked her into drain and flushing her transmission fluid twice, one at 40k and another at 58k aranoid:, eesh. They also did a fuel injector cleaning at 52k, is that honda recommended? probably not

The best suggestion would be to get a shop manual for your car. If you go to automanualsource.com, you can get a shop manual as a pdf for your car for $21.99.

I would check out car-part.com. It searches junkyards by distance or price. You may be able to find part(s) from an accord that has the same paint color.

I think the hardest repair you have is that dent in the rear fender. I believe that piece is welded in place. Not sure how you would repair it without creating a crease.
