Rented a parking space in Brooklyn and thought I had room turning onto the ramp exiting the garage. Railing swiped the side of the car. First day bringing it back and pretty annoyed about it.
Wanted to hear some opinions on how much people think this should be around to fix up. Dealership going to give me a quote from body shop but wanted to here some opinions here as well.

There’s now dimminished value going through the insurance since it’ll hit your carfax
So make sure you keep all docs so when it comes time to see the buyer can see if wasn’t a collision if that makes sense
Given the make, not cheap. Looks like new door panel, new rear quarter and bumper. If they can fix existing panels I’d be impressed.
Reputable independent body shop repairing all existing damage, without ordering new parts, $2-5,000. Dealer affiliated body shop, $10-20,000. Got a broken curb deep scratch in the passenger-side plastic lower rocker panel on a black Macan S. One of the top shops in the USA removed the panel and repaired it, as-new, for $500.
All the $20k claims are insane and if that’s the case for NYC maybe get it repaired outside NYC. You can get the door for $800-$1000 used in mint condition,and OE they’re $1200. Bumper another $800 max and fender another $800-1000 max. Paint and Labor and you’re looking $10k max.
People saying $20k must work for body shops in NYC and charge this ridiculous amount on the norm to ignorant people.
In DFW this would cost around $8k at the highest end body shop. I’ve seen far worse done to Porsches and BMWs and nowhere near did it cost 20k for a deep scratch.
