Well the dent is decent size, about the size of a football, and not only is it just a dent, but in the contour lines of a 9000 there is a unique angle crease that runs from the front of the car to the back giving it its shape. The dent hit right on this and totally took that contour line out of my body shape. As for the rest, a lot of chipped places, and a real rough scrape of pant. It looks as though the main point of impact was behind/below the drivers brake light right on the corner, which is a seperate piece, almost looks and feels plastic. As the person drove on (im assuming trying to park) their car (bumper im guessing) swing in more and when it left that plastic piece and hit the 1/4 panel it caved it in, messing up the joint of the first piece it hit and the 1/4 panel. The plastic molding that goes around the bumber has a nice scrape to it, exposing the plastic under the top coat (now a shade of gray/black and brown, yuck) but I found that piece for $46.00 new. I can find the front fender, just not the rear 1/4.
As for the work, I am not sure what they will have to do, weld or not? I am going to the saab garage and some auto body shops today. All I know is I wont settle for any condition less than what it was before this happened, and the body was perfect.
thanks for all your help, ill keep you all posted on what the places say, see if anyone will have any recomondations after I report back.
