Question
Hello. I recently got into a car accident and hit the back of a 06 eclipse. There is minor damage, paint is chipped off bumper (no dents). I asked the driver to get an estimate to fix the paint/replace bumper. Can you give me an estimate of how much im going to have to pay the driver of the damaged vehicle??

It is not uncommon for plastic bumper covers to require replacement when they are damaged. I can't say with out seeing it but be prepared for a max of 700-900 and a minimum of 400-600. You might call a mitsu dealer in your area that does body repairs and get an estimate over the phone.
