I backed into my husband' car with mine and dented in the area just in front of his driver's door. The door now barely opens. Is there some way to pull out the dented in metal without much additional damage? I called an auto body place, and they guessed that such a repair would cost between $800-$1500. I can't afford that right now. Any suggestions?

Some models have door hinges that are adjustable. If that is the case, I would try to readjust those two hinges so that the door opens and closes properly.
If those hinges are welded! Then I would remove the inside panel and hammer those dents into place using a hammer and piece of wood. Doing so will probably stretch the door back to its proper place so that it will open and close more or less correctly, until you get it fix properly at a dealer shop.

sounds like you dented the fender, they are going to replace it anyway. Get a slide hammer and pop out the fender away from the door and that should cure your worries, good luck
