Angry New rear bumper

Last night i got rear ended at a red light! Fortunately i did not take a strong hit since the other driver wasn't going too fast.
I was wondering do you guys have any idea about how much it would cost to have the bumper replaced by my toyota dealer? Or should i go somewhere else to get it done? Thanks!

No insurance?

An OEM bumper replacement will cost you about 300+ for the bumper, and then a hundred fifty ish for the paint

The dealer is most likely going to charge even more than that

How much is your deductable,you can tell your agent you are fixing it yourself and still recieve a check from your insurance co.
I would try a salvage yard for the parts,if the steel reinforcement is not damaged badly
you can get a bumper cover for around $ 200 new....

Not sure about the deductable......If I get a bumper online then where should i have the painting done? Dealer or a body shop? My concern would be the paint not matching the rest of the car so i'd be more inclined to take it to a Toyota dealer?

An automotive paint supply store in your area,they can even put paint in rattle cans for you. You CAN install and paint this yourself...

Perhaps I am missing something, but it seems to me that there are obvious questions here that are proverbial elephants in the room. You got REAR ENDED AT A RED LIGHT. Why would you or your insurance have to cover it? Is there even one state where this would be legally your fault? Was the other driver uninsured?

When I was rear ended they gave me an estimate of around $900, that was replacing the taillights, bumper and the bar behind the bumper

Update: fortunately there's no need for replacement since it's mostly cosmetic damages!!! So that will be taken care of real soon.Thanks,guys!
