Salvage or repair?

[Dean07_ftw]

2012 Honda Odyssey LX with 140k miles, took a hit to the front left. Fender and headlight are gone but the engine runs and the frame looks straight. Salvage buyers are offering under $2k and I'm wondering if it's smarter to fix and sell privately. Does anyone know what a basic front end repair runs these days and would a mobile mechanic be able to help with the teardown?

Basic front-end fixes might set you back $1500–$3000, depending on parts and paint. For disassembly, a mobile mechanic is an option, but bodywork? You'll probably need a shop

The ballpark helps frame it better. I'm weighing whether it's worth putting in the time to fix and sell or just take the salvage offer and move on. If I go the repair route, how long would a shop usually need for a job like this? And if I source the fender and headlight myself, would most shops be okay installing parts I bring in?
