Does This Sound Like A Lot Of Money

I had someone rear end my black is300, 03. The license plate on the other car gauged the bumper cover in two places, about 4 inches long each. I took it in for a quote at a body shop and they said it would be 430.00. This was paint, labor, with color sanding and a finish that matches the one from the factory. Do any of you have experience with something like this? It seems really high for the small amount of damage that was done. I want to get it fixed, but I don't want to put the poor lady in the poor house either.

thats quite nice of you. Personally, i think that sounds very reasonable, from experience with bumpers, i have seen them go a little past 500. Then again, that price would give you a new bumper.

That sounds about right to repair, prep and paint a bumper cover. I'd been quoted $300 just to prep and paint one.
