Re: Got rear-ended on the way into work today.

Just got off the phone with them. They said they didn't have anything available at the moment, but when they did (presumably later today), they'd give me a call, and drive down to swap it out...

Shop also called. Said if they replace my bumper with a mildly used one it's going to cost $1200. They ordered it and if it's in good condition they'll use it, otherwise they'll order a new one.

What's the bill if they use a new one?

I dunno. But apparently, it's mercury's "policy" to replace using used parts first if they are available. Sucks...

Well it is a used car, after all. a 2010 with 13k miles is still "used" even though it's in (was in) excellent condition.

And since I'm using their recommended shop I get a lifetime warranty on the repair...

$1200 for a new bumper? That seems high, doesn't it? I got rear-ended in my Tacoma several years ago and I believe it only cost about $500 for a NEW OEM bumper.

I would imagine the paint and color matching costs more than the bumper itself...

He did mention something about a spring too.
