If you get the car fixed, MAKE SURE they use either good used OEM parts, or new OEM parts, aftermarket parts suck. My friend uses my garage to paint and do body work on cars from time to time. I have seen people bring him a car and a new aftermarket fender, 9 times out of 10 the cruched up one fits better then the new aftermarket one. Although I did buy an aftermarket one for my old GTP and it fit perfect.

GMPD IIRC was $36 a pair.
Then you'd have to figure in shipping
Which can be expensive with GMPD.

I'd say. I'm shocked at the variance of the estimates, 2 are from Pontiac dealers, 2 are from "hole in the wall" private shops
Good luck either way

Theres also a 1997 SSEi in Arizona for $4500 with only 80,000 miles. Thats a steal I think.
Something is missing on both cars, look at the front doors.

I'm in contact with both cars trying to talk the price down so I dont have to pay any money.
The insurance check is in the mail as of today. The car was NOT totalled out, the market value was $2800 however I faxed them over the recent repairs..transmission...M65....HUD Windshield etc and he agreed to send the check of $3600 and NOT give the car a salvage title. Its a good day.
As far as buying another car and getting rid of this one, It may take a while, I'm waiting for the right one to come up since theres no rush.
