That's a giant area with a decent amount of creasing it looks like. Looks expensive, theyre going to have to strip the entire quarter panel, pull it, smooth it, fill the small imperfections, smooth it again, and then paint the entire quarter panel and try to blend it in with the rest of the cars paint. If that is a v6, depending on miles, you could spend almost 60-80 percent of the cars resale value trying to fix it.........get some quotes and decide if you think its really worth fixing.

The best way to price that repair is to take it to a body shop and get a quote. We, on this forum cannot give an accurate estimate as we do not know labor rates and costs for body shops in your area.

Didn't you just start a thread about this? Anyways now that I can really see the damage, i'd say still go to a body shop... Even over the phone for an estimate. I said in your previous thread $1,000 + but now im thinking quite a bit more.
