I was replacing my fender today and I noticed that the frame was bent were the damage to the fender and bumper was. It don't look that bad in my opinion but then again I am not a body man. It is bent in about an inch at slightly less than a 45* angle behind the headlight and about half an inch inwards on the side of that part. It is all up on the front drivers side corner. Would this be fixable and does any one know about how much I should expect to pay to have it fixed, if it is fixable? Also I am buying the car from my friend for $2500($200 a month) how much should I ask him to take off of the price?

 

I would take a picture but I do not own a digital camera or a scanner. I described it the best way I could. If anyone has any idea what the cost might be please help me out.

 

You might be able to have a body shop straighten it on a frame rack for a few hundred bucks. Check with local shops.

 

So it shouldn't cost that much then? That's a relief. I was scared it would be outrageous. I figured most cars actually got their frames damaged slightly in wrecks.
