Around here a used door would be about 100 with power options. Don't know how much it would be to paint it. What color is your car? I know it is hard to find doors in my color, but it is usually easy to find red, black, green, etc.

well mine is blue. it is a matalic blue. realy nice. but i looked to get a new door is around a 1000 dollars. and then you have to get it shipped installed and painted1 so it is going to be expensive. but i dont know what do you all think?

did you get an estimate from a body shop?
12-06-2009
no it just happened
12-06-2009
thats a popular color where i live junk yard might have it
12-07-2009
i got some estimates today and the cheapest one was for $2135. that's a lot. the most expensive one was $2487.
what should i do?
12-07-2009
I would go buy a used door and put it on yourself. Take it to a bodyshop and have them paint it or vice versa. That should more than cut the cost in half. It doesn't look like there is any structural damage to me. If you could find a door the same color that would be better cause it might not even need paint then.Originally Posted by noom14921992

Wow thats a ton, yea find a junk yard door and have a shop paint it for you, or talk to the bodyshop and see if they can get a used door, they can get better prices usualy
12-07-2009
ok i will see what happens. i will keep you all up to date!

Bondo & rattle can it

ok so i am going to have the car put in the shop and fixed this next week. it will get fixed and it was quoted for $2742 at the premium body shop in my town. but now i have a dilemma. insurance is giving me a rental and they said i can choose one that is with in reason. what show i get???
12-12-2009
I work in a pretty high end body shop...and for 2742 theres something structurally wrong! Or there painting the entire car. If that was just a door and paint and blend it shouldn't be over 13-1500 at a high end shop
12-12-2009
well they said 1200 for the door. 600 to paint and blend with clear. and then its a 10 hour job they said. at 60 dollars an hour. and then they said random shop parts at to 342.
it all sounds crazy to me.
12-13-2009
1200 FOR THE DOOR! I know for a fact that our shop can get a door from GM (which no one does, they probably use LKQ aftermarket parts) for under 300, and aftermarket in the 150 range, so thats F-in crazy!

I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT ALL YOU NEED IS A DOOR SKIN....
thats not worth more than 500 $..... find a new shop man!!!
they take the skin (outer metal off the door) off and glue a new one on, paint it and done!!!
i have had it done on 2 cars... really cheap and easy... go to a gm dealer and thats what they would do or buy this... offer him 150$

2742 is a fair price.. They will need to replace the door plus Remove & install everything..
Its 4500 - 5000 to paint a complete car around me.. ( Thats at a high end bodyshop )
You can get them paint for less but you are going to have paint lines on the moldings & handles so 2742 is a fair price for a nice job..

500???
I write all day & only a **** shop wold do it for that..They would repair the door for 500 with NO blends..
Go to the shop you feel good about..
Heres a list..

I bet you can get the same color door..Good luck
