This is damage to the driver's side of a low mile 2018 GMC Sierra Crew Cab that my 83 year old Dad wants to buy. It is the short (5 3/4 foot box).
The dealer is willing to give a credit on the purchase price to have the damage repaired, since their body shop is booked solid and they can't get to it anytime soon. The problem is, I don't know how much that they are planning to allow.
My gut is telling me around $800-$1000 to fill in those scratches, paint and clear coat that entire side of the bed, and replace the plastic trim around the wheel opening. I do know that the wheel opening trim is around $150 (depending on the source for the part).
The last time I had the side of a bed (6 1/2 feet) repainted it was quoted at 3 hours, and I'm guessing 3 hours of work to fill those scratches, sand, prep it all for paint, and for R&R.
