I'm in the process of purchasing this vehicle. I've noticed in the photos damage that appears to be on the rocker panel. Something like this looks pretty easy to repair to me.. but I've heard from a friend that repairing this may be alot more difficult and/or expensive than I'm thinking. Can anyone provide some input? I've linked photos showing where the damage is.

There is damage on both sides:

http://empyrealsoft.com/rocker_3.jpg (Shows exactly where the damage is on the vehicle)

What are my repair options? Should I buy this vehicle anyway and get it repaired?

Option 'A' would be to have them 'straightened' and filled then painted............the cheapest and might return acceptable results.

Option 'B' is the 'best' and 'correct' repair, having the rockers replaced but this is $$$.$$ perhaps $$$$.00.

IF therest of the car is pristine and the price reflects the damage and repair costs, buy it.

I've decided to purchase the vehicle. Finalizing the deal now.

Thanks for your input.
