I mean if it's just a fender bender, who cares? Bumpers are meant to bend. Do you think it was hit hard enough to cause actual structural damage?
No but I didn't think the bill could be that high for bumper damage. It's full coverage, it would just suck if they totaled it.
What's a bumper. Vehicles all have integrated crash structures now behind plastic facias tucked close to the body.
