Yeah she was like not paying attention and rearend ed me denting in the drivers side part of the bumper. Any ideas on how much a new one will cost. I have to speak to daddy warbucks tomorrow. She gave me $200 as a down payment cuz she was afraid to go thru her insurance. I want to give her dad a round about estimate.

Was she cute? :pat:

hehhehehee agreed, was she a hottie? lol

At least she was sorry that she did it. The last time I was in a fenderbender, some old fart came flying up in his dodge neon which plowed into a subcompact behind me, which in turn was impaled upon my class 3 hitch and I was forced into a fed ex truck (minimally) He was all bitchy cuz we all had stopped - for a red light too boot. I was about ready to rearrange his face......thankfully he was venting at the cops and tow truck operator and not me or the dude in the subcompact.

Glad you and she are ok, the above wreck I'm describing sent the subcompact owner to the hospital....

Extremely!

But right now does anyone have any idea how much an Factory chrome rear bumper from toyota will cost. I need to get some cash from this chick other wise Im going to have to file with the insurance company and go to the precinct and get a report. I want OEM parts!

So here's what to do... Buy a used standard painted one, I'll trade you for my perfect chrome one, stratght up swapping shipping charges and pocket the remainder of the cash... I'm on a quest for monochrome.

I think that a new chrome one complete runs about $700 with all the brackets and junk. Try a Google search for Toyota bumper.

Why don't you just go to Toyota dealer and get an estimate from them? Once you have the money, you can buy any bumper you want.

$700 + install = $900+

What parts are damaged? I have a chrome bumper for sale...sell you cheap so you make some cash

The 3rd gen rear bumper is 3 piece. I backed up ino a light pole :pat: and crunched my middle section. It was under 200 bucks just for the middle, I believe the corner 'wraps' are less and can be bought/replaced separately. It's an easy DIYS fix, just gotta pop off the plastic top cap and undo a few bolts...under an hour job. Call your dealership for a price on the piece you need, add you costs for your time and labor if you wanna DIYS or have the dealeship quote ya. Good luck.

You got any pics of the damage?

I had the same thing happen to me except that it was a guy. He wanted to avoid the insurance until he found out that the damage was about $900. The chrome bumper, grill, and valance had to be replaced. His insurance ended up paying for it. Moral of the story, take it to a body shop and get an estimate. They can tell if there was any other damage that you don't see.

Mike's bumper is just fine. His truck would look alot better with a factory black bumper.

FYI- My chrome rear bumper with all the brackets, etc sold for $350 on eBay. So a used one with a minor off road dent brought in $350.

EDIT- Sorry that was the front bumper that went for $350. The rear I only got $100 for. Parts are not that expensive.

Yery true, east to uninstall and re-install. All the parts can be bought speratly.

Accidents happen and you said she was sorry. If I were you I'd charge her accordingly. If all you need is the driver's side corner, then charge her for that piece plus a little labor. I guess I am just honest, but that's what I would do.

I would probably leave my car banged up and collect in the form of favors. I mean, he did say she was hot.
