Crashed my Grand Prix. Is it worth getting fixed?
I hit a guardrail traveling approx 22 mph, shattered my right headlight and destroyed that section of the bumper. I don't have much knowledge when it comes to repair costs and what's needed. My right tire is warped outward. Left tire has a lot of weight on it and appears to be low, due to weight distribution?? Basically I need you folks to help me decide if I should fix or ditch! Other then the the latest crash, the vehicle is a great running car. I put an engine with under 70,000 miles it in just over a year ago. I'm willing to pay up to 1200. 1200 is a lot better then a new monthly car note. Thanks for any help, I will post pics momentarily! Also I know I can a new headlight and bumper for $160

I know these aren't the best pics. I was in a hurry. Had to catch a ride to work! Any suggestions?!

Re: Crashed my Grand Prix. Is it worth getting fixed?
if you could do all the work except the alignment yourself you could probably do it for under $1200 (especially if you didn't care if the new bumper matched), but to pay a shop to do it would be more than $1200 probably.

Re: Crashed my Grand Prix. Is it worth getting fixed?
Thanks for the reply. I can do the cosmetic stuff myself Bumper, headlight, and paint myself. What kind of structural/suspension damage do you believe I did? What would you estimate the cost of the suspension/structural repair will be?

Re: Crashed my Grand Prix. Is it worth getting fixed?
Also again as I am ignorant to this stuff, what from my pictures/description leads you to believe the repair estimate you came up with?
