Default Got into a small crash

Recently had someone in a Jetta rear end me. I came out with not much damage, other than a scratched bumper. How much do you guys think it costs to replace the bumper? I'm going by the dealership soon for an estimate.

I had that happen to me back in 2004 with my Ranger and it was almost $1000 back then.

Did u not get a police report? ALWAYS get a police report. If they rear ended u they should be looking for estimates.

I agree with Alente, save yourself the money and buff out the scratches. It doesn't look to bad.

There's a golf ball sized dent on the right side of the bumper, which I just noticed. I got a police report, but I wanted to stop by somewhere to get an estimate to personally know how much it will cost versus the other guy's insurance estimate. It just irritates me that people drive like this. By no means is my truck quick at braking, so I do not understand how he didn't have time to slow down.
