1100.00 for that will not be a good job imo. 3500 closer to right…
Question about body work

That's what I said. I took the car to a reputable body shop by my job. They quoted me 3500~
If it's that bad, I would just drive it and save your money.
It doesnt have a frame or even removable sub frames, the rocker panels and inner structure are basically what keeps the car from folding up in the middle.
That is typical "quality" for Illinois plates. They're crap before you even bolt them onto the vehicle. Our 91 year old Secretary of State isn't paying attention to much of anything anymore...
Update: Put the car on the lift. Everything underneath looks fine. Other than some of the bolts started to get surface rust, nothing major. Talked to the dent guy at my job. He won't be able to take that dent out since it's too big in diameter. He said a body shop would most likely pinch weld the door to remove the dent. Then use a small amount of Bondo.
Wow, there’s a lot going on in this thread. At the end of the day it’s a 9 going on 10 year old Accord that honestly is the perfect daily driver for the rust belt. I’d imagine this car will make it a solid 15 years before any rust presents a safety problem, possibly longer. They’re good cars, but nothing to get worked up about. I also get the sense that you want to blame your sister for the car’s condition, at least partly. If this car is causing resentment amongst family members either sell it or learn to live with it without resentment. I can just sense the resentment and frustration in your posts and it’s not worth it.
Me personally, I’d leave it the way it is and drive it until it has major mechanical issues, or until the rust poses safety risks. Good luck.
