Cosmetic Damage to car - devalue %?

I was curious and was wondering what others would share...

If someone cosmetically damaged their 86, lets say they hit a dear or hit the island in the middle of the road or hit a guard rail, how much would it devalue the car?

This is of course meaning, no frame damage and no chassis damage, no other cars were involved, no engine damage, just body/cosmetic damage. Does not hurt the driving integrity/performance/handling of the car - most of the car is thin sheet metal (or w/e) and hard plastic anyways right?

Would the car be worth shit after a $5,000 to $10,000 dollar body job?

Obviously depreciation comes into account naturally over time.

Thank you.
