How much will it cost to fix
These scratches? My dad just gave me his old GS400 and they are pretty bad and rusty. I honestly don't know much about cars by the way but I'm trying to learn. Where would I take my car to fix this, to the dealership? I don't know any good local places..
Oh, and how much would a new side mirror cost? As you can see, I need a new one.
Edit: didn't realize the pictures would come out that small. I'll try to get bigger ones

I have been with some body shops for many cars. The results were not as perfect as you think. The gaps are not perfect, one side is bigger than other, or paint residuels on the edges or on other parts of the body.... They just dont look like originals. When you sell your car, people will think you have been inot a big accidents, like got killed. Thats why I refuses to bring my car to body shops even cost $600 to $800. I heard the wet sand is pretty good.

Jeez, this sounds like more of a pain than I thought. And yeah, hood is dented a little due to my basketball hoop falling on it on a windy night.. Thanks guys, don't know if i'm going to replace my whole fender though.

This is a great offer! By your own words you say you don't know much about taking care of cars. If you don't go, your passing up a chance not only for a free detail, but to learn a lot from someone who has been doing this for awhile. He has over 2000 posts! Having a Lexus is all about driving. Set up a time and DRIVE!!
