come on fockers, u have to know something.

 

For a dealer that sounds about right....but are you sure that he needs all those parts for a "dent"

I would ask for 3 estimates on legit paper that an invoice would be on...like a price quote....

 

New rear bumper on my wife's old 1990 Integra ran @ $1200.00 including painting! Good thing Allstate paid for it.

 

i guess the guy said there was a dent and hes pretty much replacing the whole bumper. he doesnt wanna go through insurance, for whatever reason. prob his rate will go up.

 

im sure buying from the junk yard would be much cheaper~

 

well the thing is, i guess this guy works at a BMW dealer and thats where the estimate came from. So no wonder why it seems so high. Without insurance, how else can this be worked out?
