Charger (I still cannot comprehend how one can salvage a brand-new car in less than a month)

The fact that you don't comprehend this is why you think it's a good idea. Simple: A month after the car was bought, something happened to it wherein insurance decided that it was better to replace a car that cost at minimum $22k, than it was to repair whatever damage occurred.

$10k+ in damages is most certainly not a "fender bender".

If you buy that Charger, you need a slap.

Sounds like he could use a slap anyway.

Knowing nothing about car paint jobs, what kind of paint job would cost $7k?

Alternatively, if we were talking about cars that weren't total hackjobs, one that would probably cover a proper full color change - removing parts to get full access to paintable areas, blasting everything down to the metal, correcting any dents or rust, and then spending some serious quality time laying down some better-than-factory primer, basecoat, and clearcoat, with lots of wetsanding.

In other words, a $7k paintjob should look really goddamned good and not require any prepwork to be done by anyone other than the bodyshop, and calling it just a paintjob is a bit misleading.

But since we are talking about hackjobs... it should inlcude ghost flames, brah!
