Driver door got smashed by a hit and runner, recommendations?

http://geesu.net/photos/hit_and_run/

As you can see my drivers side door is smashed in, of course I don't have coverage b/c the car is 10 years old...

I haven't taken it to a body shop yet mainly b/c of $$, do any of you know what it would cost to fix this (roughly of course).

The problem is my window won't go down all the way and the door shuts, but it's not all the way, so it's cracked sort of, basically when I drive is sounds like my window is cracked.

I basically just want my window to go down and for the door to be "air tight" like it was before, anyone have any estimates on cost or any recommendations? Should I just buy a new door ???

Thanks!!
Josh

Replace it with a door from the junkyard.

Thats what I was thinking, does it need to be a GXE or will a GLE or SE door work as well ? Also, does it have to be a 95 or will other years work too?

All years/trim will work.

The only difference would be if the door handle is painted to match or not.

Anyone know if any online junk yard sites in Cincinnati? That's probably being too specific but might as well ask :P
