As others have correctly mentioned you can likely have the thing repaired acceptably for 1/4 or 1/3rd of your initial estimate.
Will it be a factory quality job ? unlikely, But it will look quite good.
Body work prices and quality are all over the map.
Luck of the draw and genuine reference research required.
Am amazed at prices quoted for these oldsters tho.
Was perusing the small ads a while back.. early to mid 2000's 9-5's; Wagon and Sedans of ~100k miles and of stunning appearance, inside and out (in their Advert photos though :-) on offer for $1300 to $4000 with a couple of lo milers at $5k.
Unbelievable .. Same prices as mid 90's Civics and Corollas.
Yes.. not quite the same car as a 9000, but Newer and of lower miles as a passable alternate, IF forced to rebuy a Saab.
