    I have a 2006 Prius with 175,000+ miles on it in Washington DC. Someone backed into my car and damaged the driver side rear door, and quarter panel (pic attached). The door is somewhat stuck and doesn't open/shut easily.

    Their insurance (All State) gave me an estimate of $1,650 in damage repair. Is it a reasonable estimate?

    sounds about right, but until they start digging, no way to know what they'll find. insurance allows for that.

    It seems like every piece damaged costs $1000 to fix these days, and you have at least two pieces damaged, so yes, it sounds like it's in line.

    I had something similar done recently, a door skin and quarter panel repair....$1500

    If you want to get away cheap, find a used door at a salvage yard that's the same color as your car. They go for about $300 (or less) complete door
