I had a guy across the street back into my driver's door (I couldn't open it) a week after some lady hit the driver's front of my car.Both of their insurances paid up. What they will pay is usually more than the door costs at a salvage yard.They paid me a check for a little over $600.00 for my door damage.

Glad to know you love your car as much as the rest of us. I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. Now, as far as the ins. goes, others can correct me if I'm wrong, (I've never had to deal with insurance companies before) I think what may happen (depending on how bad it really is, post some pics when you are able to) is the insurance company will total it out, being parts are hard to find/ and the car is old. You can probably opt. to buy it back, and fix it yourself. But, before you beleive me, let others who have dealt with it chime in....

Jeez, I only paid a little over $1000 to have my whole car painted!

Get the door, put it on yourself, then get estimates on paint-matching the door, vs painting the whole car (if it's not rusty, rusty cars cost exponentially more to paint).

Either way, get those big estimates forwarded to the insurance company, heh...
