Stupid tree

So I got my max for $400 dollars. It runs, drives, and everything except the stereo works. The reason is, a tree fell on it. The dents aren't that bad, but I don't know if I can fix them myself, or if I'll have to leave them.

The main one is on the right rear of my roof, right over the C pillar. Is there an easy way to get to the other side and pop it out? Should I try to suction cup it out or some crazy thing? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Let a professional handle this part. If its dented too badly the metal would have stretched some and you'll end up making it look worse. What year is it by the way?

its a 96 GXE.

The dent that I want to fix is small enough that I don't think I would mess it up too bad, but large enough that it pisses me off. There's no simple "DENT AWAY" solution that people use?

For 400 bones, I'd whistle while I drove.

absolutely, I love the car and the price. The only things that are really annoying me are the color of the car, the fact that it's an auto, and the gay dents

I have the dent thingy... it works fine for grape/olive size holes... but anything larger then that... it is just too much time for little effect (frustration will kick in too) ->>>> it won't work every time.....

BTW the places where I poped the hole out, are over pulled... so ON a side llok you can see where the holes were....

NOT worth it IMO----->unlessa girl asked you to help her on her car, and the investiment will get you some later

The way that the tree landed on the car managed to do enough damage to technically total it. Every panel of the car is damaged in some way or other (mostly minor paint scratches). I'm slowly fixing as much as possible, and it's starting to look respectable. I really don't have enough money right now to get the dent(s) fixed (speeding tickets, etc..) so I guess I'll just live with it.

glass roof JK, man u got the car for $400, f uck man, just sell it for $1000. Take that and get what you really want. Makes sense no? U hate everything about it, exept the fact that it's a max. So find the max u really want. Use that grand for the tickets and start fresh, trust me on this one

i meant to say, if u don't use that grand on a car, pay off the tickets. Better to have nothing then to owe something

For $400 bucks I would leave it as is and drive it until the wheels fell off...
