I just got in a car accident. Someone hit my right rear door, it has a big dent and scratches. I have a 95 Nissan Maxima. The chick that hit me offered me $300 cash to not call the insurance (I also have reasons to keep this from the insurance). I have no idea how much it will cost to replace the door/get it painted. Should I take her up on her offer?
 
To fix it correctly might run several hundred dollars depending on the size of the dent and location. Usually, the shop will have to "blend" the paint into any adjacent panels for a good color match which means also painting into the front door and 1/4 panel. Try getting a few estimates from some local bodyshops before you settle on a price.
