sounds like a good idea, does anyone think repairing that is worth it over an aero kit?

That depends on YOU. What do you want your car for? If it's going to be a track slut just get some aero and over fenders but you will be sunk like a battleship until you get some more appropriately sized wheels. Your kit will never line up well on that side and your over fender won't be flush with the door from what I can see in the damage on the pictures. If you're meticulous about the looks of the car and keeping it in prestine shape, then it's up to you whether you go about fixing it or getting another car. Body shops will charge varying prices for their work usually because of their quality of work and reputation. In the end, it's whatever it's worth to you.

This car is my daily driver, and it won't see much track time. I guess I'll try to get a professional body shop to fix the damage. Would you think getting another 240sx (2000-3000) is around the same price as the cost of repairing it?

It will not cost you $2000 to repair it. Unless your going to the, I want to be raped because I drive an expensive car body shop. LOL . A decent body shop could repair for what I stated above around $500 maybe a little more for nice work not more than 1k. The thing is do you want to spend that money on it? Or sell it and add that money into finding a nice clean car? It all depends on what you paid for your car and what you can sell it for.
