Default How much to fix this?

A relative of mine was involved in an accident. Here is the damage, what would you think the total cost to repair this would be. The 2012 Jeep they hit from behind didn't even get a bent bumper? If this is in the wrong section, I apologize and please feel free to move it to the correct section.

If you could find one at a junkyard, it wouldnt be that bad. As long as none of the brackets are bent, or you can bend them back to the right position. Maybe 200 bucks or less?

The damage looks to be less then a traditional insurance deductible of around $500. If you do it yourself... You can get a good used front bumper and brackets for around $300... The upper bumper cover may be around $100. If you switch to chrome or get another base model bumper like the one pictured then painting will not be required... It should be a very cheap and easy repair to do. Your relative was very lucky to not damage any more then they did.

Probably bent the frame horns or at the very least the plate welded to the horns that the bumper mounts to.

If that is the case then it would be more than a $500 fix right?
