we are selling a 1994 car in great condition, roadworthy, 12 months rego....... for $3600, and there are others out there so it probably is not worth you spending the money and the energy repairing the one you have when you can get one for the same cash without the effort.

Have you got more than one quote, that sounds pretty high unless there is major panel damage. Do you have anyone who can work on the car for you? (mates rates)
