We (NT in general) are just from different areas and different social classes which is really what makes our opinions different. In the caucasian upper middle to upper class, your cars and coffee guys or the tuner/enthusiast/gear head class, ANY M from any generation is loved and respected, just like countless other makes and models.
This whole badge flossing concept is from the hood from what I've gathered.
Exactly.

Technically, to the bank and the market its a pretty fair deal, just to you personally.What?
Yes youre the man, but no you didnt get a good deal. Thats all im saying.
yea man that's the car. You,
Man, with all the damage you're describing, that $1600 estimate is sounding like a STEAL. I'd ask the body shops what exactly they're going to do. I'd be asking questions like:
-Will they be removing the dents, and only using a minimal amount of filler? Or are they gonna do a half *** job popping them out, and then fill what is remaining with bondo.
- What paint brand do they use?
- How many hours of body work is that $1600 paying for? How much money in materials are you paying for?
Are you handy with tools and working on cars at all? You can save yourself some money, and get a better paint job, if you can remove things like door handles, mirrors, etc, ahead of time, instead of paying the shop to take them off and re-install them, or paying them to mask them (in your case, I'd be willing to bet they won't be removing ANYTHING for $1600, and will instead just be taping off things they don't want paint on).
Like I said, you get what you pay for. What is your plan with the car? Are you gonna keep it for a while (several years)? Or will you be selling it soonish? Because honestly, if you're not going to keep the car for too much longer, then I'd just bite the bullet, get the cheapest paint job you can find from somewhere that is somewhat reputable, and dump the car down the road soon after. To the average joe, even a very cheap Maaco paint job is going to look fine. And even a cheap paint job should hold up, and look decent, for at least a little while. Only a professional is really going to notice minor paint issues like orange peel or fisheyes, minor overspray in places it shouldn't be on the car, etc.
From personal experience, that slammed white 1987 Monte Carlo that I posted a page or 2 back had a cheap paint job. The previous owner had it painted cheaply (I think it only cost him around 2 grand). When I bought the car, it looked great! However, about 4 or 5 months into me owning it, a 2-3 inch crack in the paint showed up on the left rear quarter panel. I took it to a friend who does body work, and he said it was just going to get worse, and eventually I'd need to get the whole quarter panel redone

Don't listen to girls when it comes to cars. I was looking at pictures of Lamborghini Gallardos online and this girl came up to me and told me she loved Camaros+1

I would do much more work on it, if I had adequate space. I don't have a garage and I don't live in a house, none of the people I know have a garage either and I don't know if they would let me work on my car in their drive way.
