WOW thats a bunch of money. Did they say how they would repair the rear 1/4 pannel?

It is common place, to replace damaged parts "viewed" as non-repairable with less damaged, used parts that are salvageable. What you may get are body parts that have signifigant bondo repair, and potential problems with undercoating issues.

That should not be the case because if you have a fender off you can tell if it has prior damage from the underside. Not many cars are undercoated now days and the ones that are got taken.
