I found one used on ebay for $150 painted but its in SC. That would negate any savings. Unfortunately in my part of ohio(bible belt) everythings closed on sunday. I am going to a couple reputable body shops tomorrow to get an estimate. Bad thing is any estimates over $500 generally are reported to carfax. I will check to see if they have the software to search junk yards. I would drive 200 miles as the paint would surely match better.
