Default Repair estimate questions.

I'm new, so I apologize deeply if I posted this in the wrong section. I'm looking at buying a 2002 white Mustang. It has some minor body damage. I'm curious as to how much it would cost to repair a dent (about 1.4inches deep, 7 inches wide, and 4 inches tall) and a cracked rear bumper (spider web like crack about 6 inches in diameter)

Thanks!

Where is the dent? If it forces repainting a whole quarter, the cost goes up. Do you have any photos?

If you have any other serious scrapes, dings, etc., it might not cost too much to add them in especially if they are on the same panel.

If they're all on the same panel like bmaytum said it will probably have a positive effect on the price. Bodywork is basically impossible to estimate without pics, though.

Sounds like $1,000 of work to me though, give or take. Like I said, no pics. Best bet is definitely just going and getting a quote.
