2001 Ford Ranger XL - Body work worth it?	Sign In

I'm considering a 2001 Ford Ranger XL that is for sale. It has body damage, but is low mileage and seems in decent shape otherwise. The price reflects the body damage, but I wonder how much professional repair will cost.

It looks like it needs a new grill, lower rear bed corners on BOTH sides of the truck, and a new tailgate handle. It also needs a new front bumper. or possibly repair to it. All of these are available at reasonable cost from after-market websites or possibly from salvage. It also has a big, but fairly shallow, dent in the front of the bed-side that would need pulled out, and there are a few dings that might need repaired. After all that, it would need paint.

Would anyone be willing to make a guess at how much all that will cost?

Thanks!

An educated guess would be $1200 to $1500

Thanks for the quick response. That seems reasonable. Does that include both parts and labor?
