frame repair is really expensive, and your car is never the same. That looks like it'll cost a lot of money, you may want to consider just getting a new car. Then again, I'm not exactly an expert repair man, this is just based off of what I've heard over the years. Take it to a shop and get a quote if you really want to know the cost of repair.

Wow, that looks damn expensive. I'd say at least 4-5 grand. And that's a very important place to have structuraly straight. Getting it fixed all depends on how much the car means to you. It's easily above the value of the car in damage.

funny how we have damage on almost the same spot

The estimate to fix my car is $1000. I got little frame damage and guy at the shop said it can be repaired along with the fender. The bumper has to be replaced...

The damage to your car can't be fixed, so replacing the parts is what your gonna need. Frame damage can probably be fixed..well thats what the guy at the shops usually say.
