I recently purchased a 2005 LEXUS LS430 with 145,365 miles for $6,700. I noticed the bubbling appearance on my right back tire well. (it was in an accident about 10yrs ago in that same location rear quarter panel}. I went over to MAACO and received a quote for just under $1,600 and stated they would replace the sheet metal and primer and paint it. there was no gaurantee that the rust would return; thoughts?

 

Spent all your money on hookers and blow? Better get Maaco!

Seriously though, anything BUT Maaco. There has to be a better option in your area. What's the rest of the car look like, especially underneath? If there is a bunch of rust, I wouldn't even bother...
