Default Dent removal

How easy would it be to pop this dent out? What should I expect to pay if I cant do it myself?

thanks

I can't really tell from the pictures, but that dent looks pretty big in the first picture, from what I saw there it looked like a bodyshop dent, not just paintless dent repair.

it's real hard to even get your hand down behind that spot, you won't have leverage to try to push it out from the inside, but if you wanna see what I'm saying remove the sail panel speaker on that side and reach all the way thru. and if you can't get it from the inside then your looking at more traditional pulling from the outside methods.

You could try a suction cup to pull it out, but I'd check with your local pdr guy and see what they say

Regardless of the dent, wash your damn car man! Dirty is one thing, but your front wheel is turning brown.

LOL!!...its not my car....yet. This car is for sale and I'm considering buying it. $2500 for the car & $800 for shipping. Its an 01 WS6/A4. Has a engine knock so the shortblock needs rebuilt. Im deciding if I want to buy it. The car has been sitting for a few months.

Haha. Might be a headache, but worth it if you don't mind doing work yourself or forking over the cash. Plus you can upgrade the cam and valvetrain while you're in there.
