Assume $500-700 for the bumper, $300 for the tail light (I recommend you eBay one with your check)

I got rear ended a few months ago by a lady that was stopped behind me and then didn't have her foot on the brake hard enough and rolled into me. Put a crease between the fog light and bottom of the bumper. Cost to repair and pay 3 days for a rental car was $1000 to her insurance. I'll bet that taillight lense alone is $300.
Bummer, we feel for ya. |

Get an estimate from the dealer, and two other high end body shops. Average the three together and that's what she pays. If she balks, go to insurance. The car's brand new, it should look brand new when they're done with it. If you can source the replacement parts cheaper, then do so. Just because you save money doesn't mean she gets to. Don't forget to add in your rental car costs while the car's in the shop.

Always, always, always get it documented (ie.e a police report of some sort)!! I'm all for getting it repaired w/o involving the insurance companies, but as others have mentioned, I've seen far too many times when people have called us, after the fact, to report an accident because the the other party has refused to hold up to their end of the bargain. Without that report, you all know what their insurance company is gonna say....."sorry, we don't have any record of that accident happening. Do you have a police report number???" When the answer is no, you're left with the choice of eating the repairs, or taking the other party to civil court, and again, who is your witness??
Bottom line, having the documentation is your ace in the hole if they decide to flake on you. BTW, around here, accidents in parking lots only get you a contact report anyway, unless someone is injured, or the other party is DUI.... |

Go through insurance. It's not worth the headache, trust me. It's gonna show on carfax, but so what? If anything, that's being honest to the next owner if you plan to sell it later. It's doesn't look too bad to be honest, but certainly ruined your day. You're lucky it didn't damage the rear quarter. That's a pain to fix/replace. New tail light and bumper and she'll be good as new. You'll need a place to color match the paint no matter what, so going with an amuse bumper isn't much of a difference.

cheer up man, my nismo was rear ended last week and I also know what you're going through. i feel like strangling someone everyday.
if she won't pay the full price, claim her insurance with the highest quote. also beware that, if you don't go through insurance, you won't get any supplement fees for fixing the damage when the bodyshop finds more internal damage. |

sorry to hear.
![]() yah, dmv is home to sucky drivers (brand new and very old) so i park waay far when i need to go there. usually i can do everything online to renew, so i take advantage of that. also remember the same near airports. you got lots of visitors from out of state that are unfamiliar with the area and the rental. ![]() GL with the repairs. |
