Im looking at a 97 Saturn S something, the current owner backed up into a fence and bent the window frame/ upper half of the door away from the body close to the front of the rear door and also took off the door handle. there is a gap inbetween the door and the body. now my question is, how much would i be looking at for a whole new door from a salvage yard, or just a handle and trying to brace the door against something and try and bend it back in.

 

I've done a bit of back yard body work and would suggest that you buy a door from a Salvage Yard, but have no idea what one would cost. I guess it would depend on the Salvage yard.
One of the marketing claims for S series cars was the ruggedness of thier parts. They used to have show room displays with the door skins removed to show how rugged and solid thier bits and pieces were. Don't think your going to be overly successful bending it back into shape with a 2x4, but if you really don't care that is what bungi cords are for.

 

as hossepi if he has one (see sticky in for sale section) -- you'll need the actual model info and whether it has power doors, windows , mirror...etc
