Repair estimate?

[varla]

Had a little argument with a dumpster while parking.
Anyone have a clue what this is going to cost?
Apart from 3 panels, the headlight is loose.
I'm in NYC.
Also, I think part shortages are still a massive problem no?

Thanks!

Using insurance? Around 10K is my guess. what happened to the parking sensor? Not Alerting you?

I think it just looks like the bumper, which may only be about $2k. maybe the light assembly as well $500.

2500-10k, quite a range!
I totaled my last car 2.5 years ago, so I'm hoping to not go through insurance if it's below 3 or 4k (roast my driving, deserved ).

I don't think the sensor went off, if it did it was right before or while making contact with the dumpster.

If the fender wasn't damaged I would say just buy a bumper off ebay for less than $1000. A really good piantless dent repair guy might be able to get the fender looking decent for a couple hundred. If you could live with that then you could DIY replace the bumper with the ebay bumper and maybe get away with $1200 or so.

Thanks for your insight.
Is the bumper easy to put on?

It’s just clips and a few screws. Wrap shops take them off all the time. It’s best to go through insurance for hidden damage too.
I think you overall fox would be like $26k low end, paint is a 3 step process, parts, labor, and any mechanical work needed. You can’t tell by estimating on picture, you need to open that baby up. Good luck

Depends on your definition of easy. I would say it isn't difficult.

Yes, if feasible, it should always be done right. They weren't asking for right though, they were asking for decent and cheap.
