If you were to take this to a shop to have it fixed they are going to replace the fender and repair the door. The fender is damaged the cars body line and repairing it would cost more than replacing it.
As for the damage to the wheel this is where the potential big bucks could arise. Looks like a lower control arm is bent and in turn with that being bent the sway bar or the end links to the sway bar are gonna need replacing. But you could have also damages the cv shaft as well and possibly the upper control arm. The corner light is not a huge deal.
This is def around a 4 grand job if you get new official GM parts. Low 3ish if you can find new aftermarket parts and could save even more if you get the parts @ a junk yard.
I would say get an estimate (Should be free at any auto body shop) they will give you a printed estimate that will have a parts list on it. Then you can do your own part hunting online and at junk/salvage yards.
Good luck
I was 18 4 years ago and had a similar occurrence.

Wow that wheel is pushed back after the first picture i did not see much damage. Pontiac side light is $178 new and lower control arm $149. Monroe gas adjust struts $145 and two top strut mounts $70 ea. One fender Pontiac about $135 bumper cover repair $125. Pain and material $400. four wheel alignment $79 have the left rim checked for straightness and rebalanced too. And I see little grease spots under the fender get the outside and inner constant velocity joint boots checked and replaced if leaking. I owned a 1997 White GTP with lots of modifications. All the repair work can be done with wrecking yard parts too! 1997 to 2003. Preferably white GP. GTP and many SE versions out there.

The cosmetic damage is minimal but there is obvious suspension damage. The sub-frame may be damaged and even the body structural sections. You need to have a body shop inspect the structural portion of the body.
You might have to sell the wheels to pay for the repair.

Sorry about that but looks expensive tire is way out of caster and if it can be brought back could run you 1200 to 3500 all depends on the frame and alignment issues.cosmetics are light with the light being the high cost

Hardhead, was it your fault? if not then the other person's insurance fixes it (demand only genuine GM parts too) Ya live in a state with No Fault ins., call a lawyer for answers. Otherwise that fender and door about $500 tops. A junkyard fender,bumper skin, even less. Now that rim, well, I hate to tell ya but they are worth more than the car. Which brings me to a saying my Grandpappy had, " Never put a $500 saddle on a $50 horse"

well from looking at the pics it looks like all you really need to do is fix the headlight will cost you bout 50$ you can easly find a used one on ebay or craigs list and if you kno a friend that can put it in that great if you dont no big deal it wont cost that much to have sum one put it in but it will be extremly helpful if you could send me a pic of the other side of the car cause im not able to tell if the wheel is bent back or thats just how it is so if you could send me pic of the other side of the car it would be great and i could give you a lil more info my email is

it looks like you might have knocked your lower control arm out of whack. maybe the axel as well. aside from the body damage.
my guess out of pocket would be around 3500
-4000 some insurance companys might total the car completly.... sorry for the bad news

Youy are asking readers to do the impossible.....you need to go to several body/collision shops and get estimates.....you will find prices all over the place....get all the estimates you can......no one can quote repair prices by looking at pictures. Try and get them to use used parts if they can....that will save a lot of money......

looks like the front tire is pushed back so hard to say might be cheaper it get another car and do yourself a favor get rid of the over sized wheels all they do is put undo stress on the suspension and they are ugly as h3ll
